Ízesül

Ízesül is a Hungarian verb used primarily in formal or legal language. It denotes that a decision, verdict, measure, or penalty has come into effect or has been carried out. In other words, something has moved from a decision or provision to actual enforcement or realization. The term is most commonly found in court rulings, legal commentary, and official communications.

In practice, ízesül is used with nouns such as ítélet (verdict), határozat (resolution), vagy büntetés (punishment). For example, one might encounter formulations like “az ítélet ízesül” or “a büntetés ízesül,” indicating that the judicial act has become operative or the punishment is being executed. The expression emphasizes the transition from decision to execution, rather than the act of deciding itself.

Context and nuance: ízesül is a relatively specialized term and is less common in everyday language. It conveys formality and specificity, typically restricting its use to legal, administrative, or bureaucratic discourse. In everyday speech, speakers may instead use phrases like “végrehajtásra kerül,” “hatályba lép,” or “megvalósul” depending on the exact sense (enforcement, effect, or realization).

Etymology and related forms: ízesül appears in its infinitive form as ízesülni, with ízesül being the present tense third-person singular form. The verb is part of the Hungarian lexicon for describing the realization or enforcement of official acts.
