Fokozódtunk

Fokozódtunk is a Hungarian verb form corresponding to the first-person plural past tense of the intransitive verb fokozódik, meaning to intensify, escalate, or become more pronounced. It indicates that the degree, intensity, or severity of a situation or condition increased for the subject we. The form is built from the stem fokozód- plus the past-tense suffix -tunk, and it denotes that a collective subject experienced an increase in intensity.

In usage, fokozódtunk is relatively rare in everyday speech, with speakers more often using fokozódott (the situation/condition intensified) or other constructions. It may appear in narrative or analytical writing to emphasize a collective experience of increasing intensity, such as growing tension, activity, or difficulty within a group or system. Because fokozódik is intransitive, fokozódtunk typically refers to the subject undergoing the increase rather than acting upon something else.

Related forms include fokozódik (present), fokozódott (past definite), and fokozódás (the process of intensification). In everyday language, other verbs expressing change in level—such as növekszik (increases) or emelkedik (rises)—are often used as alternatives depending on the nuance.
