védetté

védetté is a Hungarian verbal form derived from védeni, meaning to render something protected or to designate it as protected. It expresses a resultative idea: a state in which the object has been made protected. The form is used in combination with verbs such as nyilvánítani (to declare) or tenni (to make).

In practice, véddetté typically appears in legal, administrative, and environmental language. For example, iga: A területet védetté nyilvánították (The area was declared protected). A faj védetté vált (The species became protected). Such constructions describe the process or outcome of granting protective status, rather than merely stating that protection exists.

Grammatical notes: végett egy predicative complementként is előfordulhat, amikor a cselekvés eredményét fejezi ki, például “A terület védetté válik” (The area becomes protected) vagy “védetté tenni” (to render into a protected state). The form is related to the adjective védett (protected) and to the noun védelem (protection), védettség (protection status, immunity).

Common usage concerns: véddetté is primarily a formal or official construction; in everyday Hungarian, speakers often use phrases like “védett és nyilvánított terület” or simply “védett terület” to convey the protected status without focusing on the act of rendering.
