összehasonlított

Összehasonlított is a Hungarian past participle form of the verb összehasonlítani, meaning to compare. It is formed with the prefix össze- added to the verb hósonlítani, resulting in a participial adjective that conveys the idea that something has undergone the action of comparing. The word functions primarily as an attributive modifier and can also appear predicatively in certain constructions within Hungarian, describing nouns that have been subjected to comparison.

Grammatically, összehasonlított behaves like a typical Hungarian past participle and agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. It is commonly used in formal or technical language, especially in scientific, statistical, and research texts, where objects such as data, variables, or results are reported as having been compared.

Common usage and examples:

- Az összehasonlított adatok alapján megállapították, hogy a hipotézis igazolódott. (Based on the data that have been compared, the hypothesis was confirmed.)

- Összehasonlított változók között jelentős különbség mutatkozott. (Among the compared variables, a significant difference appeared.)

- A tanulmány az összehasonlított eredményeket kiemelten tárgyalja. (The study prominently discusses the results that have been compared.)

Related terms include összehasonlítás (the act of comparing or the process of comparison) and összevetés (a synonym focusing on juxtaposition or comparison). Összehasonlított is thus a specialized form used to indicate that an item has been subjected to comparison, often in objective or analytical contexts.
