átvétetik
The Hungarian verb átvétetik is the passive voice, third-person singular, present tense form of the verb átvesz. Átvesz generally means "to take over," "to receive," "to accept," or "to adopt." Therefore, átvétetik translates to "is taken over," "is received," "is accepted," or "is adopted." It signifies that an action is being done to the subject by an external agent, rather than the subject performing the action. This verb is often encountered in formal contexts, such as legal documents, official announcements, or technical descriptions, where passive constructions are common. For instance, a contract might state that a certain responsibility "átvétetik" by one party from another, meaning it is officially transferred. Similarly, in a scientific context, a new method or theory might be described as being "átvétetik" by the scientific community. The grammatical structure emphasizes the object of the action rather than the doer. Understanding the nuances of átvétetik is crucial for accurate comprehension of Hungarian texts where passive voice is employed.
