A benyújtási határidő után elutasítás várható.

A is the Hungarian definite article, equivalent to English the.

Here it belongs to the whole noun phrase a benyújtási határidő = the submission deadline.

Hungarian has two definite articles:

• a before consonant sounds
• az before vowel sounds

Since benyújtási starts with a consonant sound, the article is a.

Benyújtási means for submitting or submission-related.

It is built from:

• benyújt = to submit / hand in
• -ás / -és = turns a verb into a verbal noun, something like submitting / submission
• -i = turns that noun into an adjective

So:

• benyújt → benyújtás = submission
• benyújtás → benyújtási = submission-related / for submission

That is why benyújtási határidő literally means something like submission deadline.

Because után is a postposition, not a case ending.

In Hungarian, many meanings that English expresses with prepositions are expressed with postpositions placed after the noun. Után means after.

With után, the noun usually stays in its basic form:

• a határidő után = after the deadline
• az óra után = after the lesson/class
• ebéd után = after lunch

So határidő után is the normal structure.

Határidő means deadline.

Literally, it is made up of:

• határ = boundary, limit
• idő = time

So the literal idea is something like time limit.

Elutasítás means rejection or refusal.

It comes from the verb:

• elutasít = to reject

and the noun-forming ending:

• -ás / -és

So:

• elutasít → elutasítás = rejection

In this sentence, it refers to the likely outcome after the deadline.

Várható means can be expected, is expected, or is likely.

It comes from the verb vár. In this form, it functions like an adjective/predicate meaning that something is to be expected.

That is why Hungarian does not need a separate verb like is here. In the present tense, Hungarian often leaves out van (is) in sentences like this.

So:

• elutasítás várható = rejection is expected / rejection can be expected

This is a very common formal or official style.

Because in this kind of formal, impersonal statement, Hungarian often uses a bare noun.

So:

• elutasítás várható sounds official and natural
• literally: rejection is to be expected

Adding az would usually make it sound more specific or heavier:

• az elutasítás várható

That is possible in some contexts, but the version without the article is more typical in bureaucratic or administrative language.

In effect, yes, very often.

Hungarian does not use the passive as much as English does. Instead, forms like várható are often used to create a similar impersonal meaning.

So:

• elutasítás várható ≈ rejection can be expected
• English might also express this as the application will likely be rejected, but Hungarian here keeps it impersonal and noun-based

This style is especially common in official notices and formal writing.

This word order is natural because the sentence starts with the time expression:

• A benyújtási határidő után = after the submission deadline

and then gives the main statement:

• elutasítás várható = rejection can be expected

So the structure is basically:

[time/topic] + [what can be expected]

This is a very normal Hungarian pattern, especially in formal announcements.

It is natural, but it sounds formal, official, and bureaucratic rather than conversational.

You might see it in:

• application instructions
• government notices
• university regulations
• official forms

In everyday speech, people might say something more direct, for example a version closer to:

• A határidő után valószínűleg elutasítják.
• Ha a határidő után adod be, valószínűleg elutasítják.

Those are less formal and more conversational.

A rough literal breakdown would be:

• A = the
• benyújtási = submission / for submitting
• határidő = deadline
• után = after
• elutasítás = rejection
• várható = can be expected / is expected

So a very literal translation would be:

After the submission deadline, rejection can be expected.

That is close to the natural English meaning, even though the Hungarian structure is a bit more compact and impersonal.
