oldódva

Oldódva is a Hungarian adverbial participle derived from the verb oldódik, meaning to dissolve or to melt away. The form denotes a state arising from dissolution and is used to describe substances that have already dissolved or processes that have produced dissolution. In practical use it often describes something in a solvent, as in the sentence A só oldódva van a vízben (The salt is dissolved in the water).

Etymology and grammar: oldódva is formed with the suffix -va/-ve attached to the stem oldód-, from oldódik. It belongs to the category of határozói igenév (adverbial participles) in Hungarian. The participle can be used predicatively with auxiliary verbs or to modify noun phrases, emphasizing the resulting state rather than the action itself.

Usage notes: The adverbial participle oldódva is often contrasted with feloldódott (completed dissolution) and with oldódó (present participle, indicating ongoing dissolution). While feloldódott foregrounds a completed event, oldódva foregrounds the current state that remains after dissolution. The form is common in scientific, technical, and descriptive prose, where precise states of substances are described.
