Beírta

Beírta is a Hungarian verb form, the past tense, third-person singular of beírni, meaning “to write in” or “to inscribe.” The prefix be- suggests entering or placing something into a surface, form, or record, while írni means “to write.” The combination denotes putting information into a designated place.

Usage and sense: beírni is used when the action results in an entry in a document, form, notebook, or registry, rather than merely writing on a page. It is a transitive verb and takes both a direct object (what is written) and a destination (where it is written). Examples: “Ő beírta a nevét a listába.” (He wrote his name into the list.) “Beírta a telefonszámát a telefonkönyvbe.” (He entered his phone number in the phone directory.)

Grammatical notes and related forms: beírta is the simple past (aorist-like) form for ő. Related forms include beírt (past participle), beírás (the act of entering), and present-tense conjugations such as beírok, beírsz, beírja, beírjuk, beírjátok, beírják. The verb is commonly used in contexts involving data entry, registration, or inscriptions, in contrast to írni, which covers writing more generally.

Usage context: in formal or administrative language, beírni often appears with destinations like nyilvántartásba, adatbázisba, or űrlapokra, emphasizing the action of placing information into a defined record rather than on a surface.
