megnevezve

Megnevezve is a Hungarian past participle form of the verb nevez (to name, to designate) formed with the prefix meg- to indicate completed action. In usage, megnevezve generally functions as an adjective or as part of a participial clause to convey that something has been named or designated.

Morphology and meaning: The prefix meg- emphasizes completion, while the suffix -ve marks the participial form. Megnevezve can modify a noun in formal or legal-style language or participate in a syntactic construction that describes an action that has already occurred. In everyday Hungarian, the related attributive form megnevezett (the named or designated) is more common for direct noun modification, while megnevezve appears more in procedural, bureaucratic, or legal contexts or in fixed expressions.

Usage and register: Megnevezve tends to appear in formal writing, official documents, or texts describing processes where naming or designation has taken place. It can express a state resulting from the action of naming rather than the action itself. The term is closely related to megnevezés (the act or result of naming) and megnevezett (the named person or thing). In translation, megnevezve is commonly rendered as “named,” “designated,” or “referred to as,” depending on context.

See also: nevezés, megnevezés, megnevezett, nevező (namer/designer).

Note: The choice between megnevezve and megnevezett depends on sentence structure and emphasis. Megnevezve is more likely to appear in participial phrases or after formal predicates, whereas megnevezett is the straightforward attributive form.
