meggyújtva

Meggyújtva is a Hungarian term meaning ignited or lit up. It is the past participle form of the verb meggyújtani, formed with the prefix meg- and the suffix -va. The meaning emphasizes that the act of lighting has been completed, and the result is present or observable.

In grammar, meggyújtva can function as an attributive adjective or as part of a participial clause describing a noun, and it can appear in predicative position in sentences with suitable auxiliary constructions. For example, a candle can be described as meggyújtva, indicating that it has already been lit. The more common simple past participle for everyday purposes is meggyújtott, which is used in phrases like meggyújtott gyertya (lit candle).

The prefix meg- in Hungarian often marks completion or emphasis, and together with gyújtani (to light or ignite) yields meggyújtani, to ignite something. The participial form meggyújtva thus conveys a completed state resulting from the action of lighting.

Figurative uses: Beyond the literal sense, meggyújtva can convey the idea of sparked action, initiation, or heightened energy, particularly in literary or rhetorical contexts.
