Felírti

Felírti is a term that appears in connection with the Hungarian verb felírni, meaning to write down or to note down. It is built from the prefix fel- attached to the verb írni (to write) and the infinitive suffix -ni. In standard modern Hungarian, the proper past tense third-person singular form of felírni is felírta, used with a definite object in sentences such as “Ő felírta a jegyzetet” (He wrote down the note).

The form felírti is not considered a standard modern Hungarian conjugation. It is generally viewed as nonstandard, dialectal, or as a misspelling rather than a correct, widely accepted form. In grammars and dictionaries, felírti is not listed as a normative past tense form; when encountered, it is typically the result of a mistaken spelling, misanalysis, or regional variation rather than a separate, widely recognized conjugation.

Etymology and morphology: fel- is a prefix meaning “up, up and down, or completion,” and ír- is the root related to writing, with the infinitive ending -ni. Standard past tense forms add typical Hungarian endings such as -ta/-te for third-person singular, yielding felírta rather than felírti.

Usage: For clear, formal Hungarian, use felírta or other standard past tense forms depending on number and definiteness. Avoid felírti in formal writing, as it is not part of standard conjugation.
