Elhagytál

Elhagy­tál is a Hungarian verb form that translates roughly as "you left behind" or "you abandoned." It is the second-person singular past tense form of the verb elhagyni, which means to leave behind, to abandon, or to forsake. The construction combines the prefix el- (indicating separation or completion) with hagy (to leave) and the past-tense suffix -tál, yielding a single word that denotes a completed action by the you (singular) subject.

In usage, elhagy­tál typically takes a direct object to specify what was left or abandoned. Common contexts include concrete abandonments, such as belongings, and more figurative ones, such as leaving a person or emotions. For example: Elhagy­tál engem. You abandoned me. Elhagy­tál a kulcsaidat. You left your keys behind. Elhagy­tál mindent. You left everything behind. Like other Hungarian past forms, this one agrees with the subject and can appear in various sentence positions, often with the object clearly specified to avoid ambiguity.

The form is frequently encountered in everyday speech, romantic or interpersonal contexts, and literature. It functions both as a simple recounting of a past action and as a charged statement in which the act of leaving carries emotional weight. Related forms include other persons and tenses of elhagyni, such as elhagyja (he/she leaves behind) and elhagyták (they left behind).
