érintettet

érintettet is a form of the Hungarian word érintett, which can function as both a noun and an adjective. The term generally denotes a person or group that is directly affected, involved, or concerned by a situation, decision, event, or data processing. In everyday language and in formal contexts, érintett translates roughly to “the affected party” or “the concerned party.” The plural form is érintettek, and the definite direct object form is érintettet.

Etymology and meaning: érintett derives from érinteni, meaning “to touch.” In a figurative sense, to touch or affect a person or group becomes “to concern” or “to involve” them. This makes érintett useful in discussions of rights, responsibilities, and stakeholder interests.

Usage and domains: The term is common in media reporting, administrative and policy contexts, and law. For example, one might speak of the rights of érintettek or the obligations of the érintett fél (the affected party). In data protection and privacy law, érintett is often used to mean “data subject,” the person about whom personal data is processed; érintettek refers to the data subjects collectively.

Related forms and notes: The nominative form is érintett; the plural is érintettek; the definite object form is érintettet. The expression érintett fél emphasizes the directly affected participant, while terms like érdekelt felek or érdekeltek may be used for broader or different kinds of stakeholder involvement.
