Elutasítottam

Elutasítottam is the first-person singular past tense form of the Hungarian verb elutasítani, meaning to reject, refuse, or decline something offered or proposed. The form indicates that the speaker performed the rejection in the past and that the object is specified. Elutasítani is a transitive verb and typically takes a direct object in the accusative, for example: elutasítottam a pályázatot (I rejected the application).

Usage notes: elutasítani is common in formal or bureaucratic contexts, such as with applications, requests, proposals, or offers. It can be softened in tone by using synonyms like visszautasítani when politeness or social nuance is important, but elutasítani remains a standard, neutral term. The prefix el- in elutasítani conveys a sense of turning something away or completing the act of rejection, contributing to a definite sense of refusing.

Conjugation and forms: elutasítom, elutasítod, elutasítja (present). Past tense forms include elutasítottam, elutasítottad, elutasította. The past participle is elutasított, used in compound tenses and adjectival forms. The verb is regular in its conjugation and follows typical patterns for transitive, prefixed verbs in Hungarian.

Examples: Elutasítottam a pályázatot. A bizottság elutasította az ajánlatot.

See also: elutasítás (the act of rejection), visszautasít (to politely refuse), elfogad (to accept, opposite in some contexts). These terms are commonly encountered in official communications, job applications, and civil-society settings.
