Átadott

Átadott is a Hungarian past participle formed from the verb átad, meaning to hand over, deliver, or transfer. As a verbal adjective, it denotes that something has already been handed over or delivered and can modify a noun or function in phrases that express completed transfer.

Formation and grammar: The prefix át- combined with ad- (from adni, to give) yields átad. The suffix -ott forms the past participle, with Hungarian vowel harmony. As an adjective, átadott agrees with the noun it describes in number and case: az átadott dokumentum (the handed-over document), az átadott dokumentumok (the handed-over documents). It can also appear in plural and in different cases, just like other adjectives.

Usage and nuance: Átadott commonly describes objects, information, money, or documents that have been transferred to another party. It emphasizes the completion of the transfer rather than the act itself. The word is typically used attributively (before the noun) but can occur in other grammatical positions as part of a larger noun phrase. It is distinct from the noun “átadás” (handover) and from the non-past verb forms that describe the act of handing over.

Examples: Az átadott dokumentumokat határidőre megküldték. (The handed-over documents were sent by the deadline.) Az átadott adatok alapján készült a jelentés. (The report was prepared based on the handed-over data.) A pénz összegét az átadott bankszámlára utalták. (The amount of money was transferred to the handed-over bank account.)
