Fogyasztottam

Fogyasztottam is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I consumed.” It is the first-person singular past tense (indefinite past) of the infinitive fogyasztani, which means to consume, use up, or ingest. The form signals a completed action of consumption and can refer to eating or drinking, as well as using up resources or goods in a broader sense.

In use, fogyasztottam is typically combined with a direct object in the accusative to specify what was consumed. Examples include: Fogyasztottam egy almát. I consumed an apple. Fogyasztottam egy pohár vizet. I drank a glass of water. The construction can also appear in more abstract contexts, such as consuming time or energy, though such uses are less common in everyday speech and depend on idiomatic nuance.

Morphology and related forms: fogyasztottam is formed from the verb stem fogyaszt- plus the past tense suffix -ottam. Related words include fogyasztás (consumption), fogyasztó (consumer), and fogyasztóvédelem (consumer protection). The word is neutral in register and widely used in both spoken and written Hungarian, including narrative past tense and descriptive contexts.

Etymology: the form derives from the verb fogyasztani (to consume) and represents the standard past tense one-person singular form. It is one of several past-tense conjugations in Hungarian that express completed actions with a definite or indefinite direct object, depending on sentence structure.
