Fenntartotta

Fenntartotta is a Hungarian verb form derived from fenntartani, meaning to maintain, sustain, or uphold. It is the third-person singular past tense in the definite conjugation, used when the direct object is definite or contextually specified. The form is built from the stem fenntart- with the past definite suffix -otta, resulting in fenntartotta. Orthographically it reflects standard Hungarian spelling rules, including the consonant cluster created by the stem ending in t and the suffix.

An example sentence is: Ő fenntartotta a rendszert, meaning he/she maintained the system. Here the object rendszert is definite, which aligns with the definite past tense usage of fenntartotta.

In practical use, fenntartotta expresses that someone maintained, kept up, or continued something in the past, and it commonly appears in discourse about organizations, policies, budgets, conditions, or arrangements that were kept in place for a period. The broader verb fenntartani covers senses of to maintain or to uphold in various contexts, while fenntartotta specifically marks a completed, definite action by a single, identifiable subject in the past.

The Hungarian past tense system distinguishes definite and indefinite forms; fenntartotta is one representative form in the third-person singular definite past. Other persons or aspects employ different endings, such as other past tense forms of fenntartani.
