Összekeveredett

Összekeveredett is a Hungarian adjective formed from the verb összekeverni, meaning to mix up or confuse. It describes a state in which elements have been mixed together in a way that creates confusion or disorder. The term can apply to data sets, lists, instructions, memories, or physical substances.

Morphology and usage: the word is built from the prefix össze- (together) and keverni (to mix), with the participial suffix -edett indicating a completed result. It functions as an adjective or predicate and agrees with the subject in number and person, for example: "A lista összekeveredett" (the list has been mixed up) or "Az adatok összekeveredettek" (the data are mixed up). Distinct from related forms, összekeveredett emphasizes the outcome of mixing up rather than mere confusion.

Contexts and nuances: összekeveredett typically refers to something that has been physically or conceptually muddled by mixing elements that should be kept separate, such as names, instructions, or components of a dataset. It can also describe memories or information that have been unintentionally combined, producing an unclear or erroneous impression. The term often appears in journalism, manuals, and narrative prose to indicate an error arising from improper mixing rather than from deliberate deception.

Related terms: barrio synonyms include összekavarodott (confused), összezavarodott (disturbed or unsettled), and keveredett in some contexts. The opposite would be összeállított or különválasztott, depending on whether the emphasis is on separation or proper organization. Összekeveredett thus conveys a settled state caused by mixing rather than a temporary moment of confusion.
