Fejezte

Fejezte is a Hungarian verb form used in the past tense. It represents the third-person singular finite form of a verb stem built on fejez-, typically associated with finishing or ending an action. The ending -te appears after most stems in the past tense; when the stem ends with -z, the combination commonly yields -zte in the written form, giving fejezte as the past-tense form.

In practice, fejezte functions as a conjugated verb indicating that someone completed an action in the past. It does not stand alone as a dictionary entry; rather, it appears as part of a full verb phrase, with the subject supplied by context or a surrounding pronoun. For example, in sentences where the action is to finish something, fejezte denotes that finishing occurred previously, while other words specify what was finished.

Commonly, Hungarian expresses completion with the prefixed verb befejezni (to complete) rather than a simple fejezni form. The past tense of befejezni is typically befejezte, a form related in meaning to fejezte but used with the prefix be- to denote completion. Nevertheless, fejezte can appear in texts where the base verb fejezni is used or in older or more concise stylistic contexts.

Etymology and morphology are tied to Hungarian verb conjugation, where the past-tense suffix -te/-zte marks the third-person singular perfective ending. Fejezte thus functions primarily as a grammatical form rather than as an independent lexical item, its meaning determined by the associated verb and sentence context.
