ízesítve

Ízesítve is a Hungarian form of the verb ízesít, meaning to flavor or season. It denotes that something has been flavored or seasoned to add taste, most commonly used in culinary contexts. The word can function as an adverbial past participle, describing the manner in which food is prepared, and it can also appear as a past participle used in adjectival phrases to indicate that a dish has been seasoned.

Etymology and grammar: ízesít comes from the noun íz (taste) with the productive suffix -ít, forming a verb meaning to give味 or flavor. The participle ízesítve is built with the suffix -ve to express “seasoned” in an adverbial or non-finite sense. In ordinary usage, the more common adjective form for describing a seasoned dish is ízesített (seasoned). Ízesítve is often found in phrases describing preparation methods rather than in isolated stand-alone predicates.

Usage and examples: In cooking, one may say, for example, "A hús ízesítve fokhagymával és borssal" (The meat seasoned with garlic and pepper). Another example is "ízesített szósz," though more often the noun form ízesítés (seasoning) or the participle ízesített is used for describing the dish. The term may also appear in recipes to indicate steps performed to enhance flavor.

Related terms: ízesítés (seasoning, flavoring), ízesítő (seasoning agent), ízesített (seasoned).

Note: ízesítve can be less common in everyday speech compared with ízesített when used as an adjective; its primary function is as an adverbial past participle describing the manner of flavoring.
