Demonstrálták

Demonstrálták is a Hungarian verb form derived from demonstrál, meaning to demonstrate or to prove. It is the simple past tense form for a third-person plural subject (they). The form conveys a completed action and can be used in different senses depending on context: it can mean that a group showed or proved something, or that they took part in a demonstration (protest). The exact meaning is guided by surrounding words, especially the noun or phrase that follows.

Etymology and related terms: demonstrál is a loanword in Hungarian, borrowed from French démontrer or Latin demonstrare, with the related noun demonstráció meaning “demonstration.” The past tense demonstrálták follows standard conjugation patterns for verbs ending in -ál in Hungarian.

Usage notes: demonstrálták often appears in contexts where a group is described as having demonstrated a claim, result, or idea, or where participants are described as taking part in a demonstration. It can occur with direct objects or predicative constructions, for example: "A kutatók demonstrálták az elméletet" (The researchers demonstrated the theory); "A diákok demonstrálták követeléseiket" (The students demonstrated their demands). The sense—showing, proving, or protesting—depends on the surrounding context and the accompanying nouns.
