Felhívtad

Felhívtad is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you called (someone),” specifically the second-person singular past tense with a definite direct object. It derives from the verb felhívni, which means to call or phone someone.

Morphology and etymology: The prefix fel- adds a sense of contacting or reaching out, while hívt- comes from the stem of híni/hívni (to call). The ending -ad marks the second-person singular with a definite direct object. This form is used when the object of the call is definite, such as a specific person. For an indefinite object, a different past-tense form would be used (e.g., felhívtál).

Usage: Felhívtad is common in everyday Hungarian to reference a completed action of calling a particular person. It frequently appears in questions or statements about a result or sequence of events, often with the direct object specified in the sentence. Examples include:

- Felhívtad már a főnököt? (Have you called the boss yet?)

- Tegnap felhívtad a barátodat, és beszéltél vele. (Yesterday you called your friend and spoke with them.)

Notes: Felhívtad contrasts with forms used for indefinite objects, where the object is not specified. The overall structure reflects Hungarian’s past tense patterns with definite direct objects, a feature of many transitive verbs. Related verbs include híni/hívni (to call) and felhívni (to call up, to phone).
