Elkötelezte

Elkötelezte is a Hungarian verb. It is the past tense, singular, third-person form of the verb elkötelez, which means to commit, pledge, or dedicate. The word elkötelezte therefore translates to "he/she/it committed," "he/she/it pledged," or "he/she/it dedicated."

The root of the word is "kötél," meaning rope or cord, suggesting a binding or tying. The prefix "el-" often indicates a completed action or movement away. Thus, elkötelez implies a binding oneself to something or a commitment made.

This verb is used in various contexts. For example, someone might say "Ő elkötelezte magát a jótékonyságnak," meaning "He/She committed himself/herself to charity." Similarly, in a political context, a candidate might declare, "A jövőre nézve elkötelezte magát a változások mellett," which translates to "He/She committed himself/herself to change for the future." The grammatical structure often involves the reflexive pronoun "magát" (himself/herself/itself) when an individual commits to something. The form elkötelezte signifies a past, singular action by a third party.
