Beírtátok

Beírtátok is a Hungarian verb form, specifically the second-person plural past tense of beírni. The verb beírni means to write in, to inscribe into something, or to enter information into a form, a register, or a document. The prefix be- indicates entering into or adding to a surface or record, while the stem ír- comes from the root írni (to write). In the past tense, the form for you all is built with the suffix -tátok (resulting in írtátok), and with the prefix be- becomes beírtátok. The spelling preserves the accented í to reflect the original stem.

Usage and senses

Beírtátok is used when describing that multiple people completed the action of writing into or recording something. It can apply to physical inscriptions, such as writing names on a list, or to digital entries, such as typing data into a database. The construction is transitive and requires a direct object representing what was written or entered, and often a prepositional phrase indicating where the information was placed (for example, a listába, a regiszterbe, or a mezőbe).

Examples

- Beírtátok a nevünket a listára. (You all wrote our names on the list.)

- A beírtátok adatait megerősítették a rendszerben. (The data you entered were confirmed in the system.)

Etymology and related forms

Beírtátok derives from beírni, combining the prefix be- with the root írni. Related forms include the present tense ti írjátok (you all write), the past singular beírtad (you wrote in), and other person-number combinations of beírni.
