Döntött

Döntött is a Hungarian word that functions primarily as the past tense form and as the past participle of the verb dönt. The verb dönt has two broad meanings in Hungarian: to decide or to tilt/turn. As a finite verb form, döntött marks the third-person singular past tense, as in a sentence where someone or something decided in the past. The first-person past tense is döntöttem, and other subject forms follow the standard conjugation patterns of the verb.

As a past participle or verbal adjective, döntött can describe something that has been decided or something that has been turned, tilted, or bent, depending on the sense of the verb in the clause. In practice, the participial use appears in broader constructions and can function as an adjective within noun phrases or in conjunction with auxiliary verbs to form compound tenses. The exact interpretation hinges on context: it can convey a completed decision, a concluded action, or a physical state resulting from tilting or bending.

Etymologyally, döntött is derived from the root dönt- with the typical Hungarian past participle suffix -ött. This suffix pattern is common in Hungarian and is used to form past participles that can operate as adjectives or as components in compound verb forms.

See also: dönt, döntés, döntő, döntetlen. Examples of usage depend on context, but the core sense remains tied to the notions of deciding and tilting or turning.
