Elosztottak

Elosztottak is a Hungarian finite verb form meaning “they distributed” in English. It is the third-person plural past tense form of the verb elosztani, which means to distribute or allocate. The form is built from the stem eloszt-, combined with the usual past tense and plural endings, and it is used with a plural subject to indicate that the distribution occurred in the past.

In usage, elosztottak is employed to describe the completion of distributing tasks, resources, or responsibilities by a group. It appears in contexts such as organizational reports, logistics notes, and narrative descriptions where multiple actors are responsible for allocating items or duties.

Semantically, the word emphasizes the action being carried out by several agents and the result of the distribution having taken place. It can pair with direct objects that denote what was distributed, such as tasks, goods, or budgeted resources, and it often appears in contrast to forms that indicate ongoing or future distribution.

Related forms include elosztás, the noun for distribution or allocation; elosztott, the past participle or adjective meaning distributed; and elosztó, meaning distributor. These related terms help distinguish between the act of distributing, the result of distribution, and the agent performing the distribution.

Elosztottak exemplifies how Hungarian encodes subject number and tense within a single finite verb form, reflecting the language’s synthetic approach to verb conjugation.
