Elaludott

Elaludott is a Hungarian verb form meaning “fell asleep.” It is the third-person singular past tense (past indicative) of the verb elaludni, which means “to fall asleep.” The form is used to describe that a subject has fallen asleep in the past, often due to fatigue or interrupted attention.

Morphology and usage: The infinitive is elaludni. The past tense forms include én elaludtam, te elaludtál, ő elaludott, mi elaludtunk, ti elaludtatok, ők elaludtak. The specific form elaludott corresponds to “he/she fell asleep.” This verb is intransitive and typically appears with a simple past reference in narrative or descriptive sentences, sometimes accompanied by time adverbs such as tegnap, ma reggel, vagy közben.

Etymology and related forms: Elaludni is formed from the base aludni (to sleep) with the prefix el-, which in Hungarian often conveys a sense of onset or completion of an action. Thus elaludni conveys the onset or occurrence of falling asleep. Related terms include aludni (to sleep), elalvás (the act of falling asleep, or sleep onset), and felébredni (to wake up).

Examples: A gyerek végül elaludott a mesét hallgatva. Az előadás végére elaludt. Én elaludtam a kanapén, miközben filmet néztem. Ezek a példák a hétköznapi beszédben gyakoriak, legyen szó beszámolóról, irodalmi leírásról vagy személyes megjegyzésekről.
