Fedezték

Fedezték is a Hungarian finite verb form meaning they revealed or they disclosed. It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb fedez, used in contexts where information or details are made known by multiple subjects. In Hungarian, this form indicates a completed action by a plural actor in the past.

Morphology and formation: Fedezték is built from the stem fedez- plus the past tense suffix -ték, resulting in the -ték ending that marks third-person plural in past tense. The form fits standard Hungarian verb conjugation patterns and is typically used with direct objects that are things disclosed or revealed, such as facts, details, or findings.

Usage and nuance: Fedezték is commonly found in formal and written Hungarian, including journalism, legal or government reporting, and historical narration. It generally conveys a straightforward reporting of an act of disclosure or revelation by multiple actors, rather than a discovery through investigation (which is more often expressed with felfedezték or felfedni).

Etymology and related forms: The verb fedez is related to the concept of revealing or exposing. Related verbs include felfedni (to reveal, to disclose) and felfedezni (to discover). The form fedezték thus sits within a family of verbs dealing with making information known, with distinct nuances depending on the prefix and the exact sense of reveal versus discover.
