részesítették

Részesítették is a form of the Hungarian verb részesít, meaning to grant, confer, or provide a benefit, or to treat someone with favorable consideration. The specific form részesítették is the past tense, third-person plural (they granted, they gave preference to, they favored). The sense is typically active: someone or some authority gives a benefit or favorable treatment to others. The nuance can shift from neutral provisioning to preferential treatment depending on context and accompanying objects.

In use, részesítik often appears with objects indicating what is being granted or what is being favored, and with phrases such as előnyben (in a favorable position) to express preferential treatment. Common contexts include administration, law, policy, and evaluation procedures. For example: A pályázókat részesítették előnyben a kiírók. (The applicants were given preference by the evaluators.) A kormány a hazai vállalatokat részesítette előnyben. (The government favored domestic companies.) The verb thus commonly conveys allocation of opportunities, rights, or advantages, as opposed to merely sharing something tangible.

Morphologically, részesítették is derived from részesít with suffixes marking tense and subject: részesít- (root) + -ett (past tense) + -ék (they). Related forms include részesít (present), részesíti (he/she/it grants), and the noun részesítés (granting or allocation). The nuance of részesítették depends on the object and context, but it generally denotes that a group received some form of benefit or preference. Translations include “they granted,” “they gave preference to,” or “they favored.”
