Fogyasztottak

Fogyasztottak is a Hungarian verb form that denotes an action completed in the past. It is the third-person plural past tense of the verb fogyasztani, meaning to consume or to ingest. The form is built from the verb stem fogyaszt- with the past tense marker -ott and the plural personal ending -ak/-ek, yielding fogyasztottak. The corresponding past definite form is fogyasztották, which is used when the object of consumption is definite.

In usage, fogyasztottak describes that a group or several subjects consumed something in the past. It is transitive and typically requires a direct object, such as food, drink, or other consumables. The choice between fogyasztottak (past indefinite) and fogyasztották (past definite) depends on whether the object of consumption is indefinite or definite.

Examples:

- A csoport tagjai tegnap fogyasztottak ételt a menzán.

- A vendégek fogyasztottak desszertet az ebéd végén.

- Az adatok szerint a vásárlók többet fogyasztottak, mint az előző negyedévben.

Related terms:

- fogyasztás: consumption or act of consuming

- fogyasztó: consumer

- fogyasztói piac: consumer market

Fogyasztottak thus function as a standard past tense form in narrative and descriptive Hungarian, indicating that the subjects completed the act of consumption at some prior time.
