Ajánlottunk

Ajánlottunk is the first-person plural past tense form of the Hungarian verb ajánlani, meaning to recommend. It expresses that the speaker and others performed the act of recommending something in the past. As a transitive verb, ajánlottunk generally takes a direct object indicating what was recommended, and it can also be used with an indirect object to indicate to whom the recommendation was addressed.

In usage, ajánlottunk is common in narrative, journalistic, and formal contexts, where past actions are described. It can refer to recommending a product, a book, a course of action, or a person for consideration. For example: A kollégáknak három könyvet ajánlottunk. (We recommended three books to the colleagues.) A vásárlóknak ajánlottunk egy új terméket. (We recommended a new product to the customers.)

Linguistically, the form is built from the stem ajánl-, plus the past tense suffix -ott and the first-person plural ending -unk. The related noun is ajánlás (recommendation), and a related adjective form is ajánlott (recommended, suggested). The verb can also appear in more complex sentences describing groups’ collective recommendations or guidelines issued in a past timeframe. Overall, ajánlottunk signals a completed act of recommending performed by the speaker and others.
