Gondoltatok

Gondoltatok is a Hungarian verb form derived from gondolni, the verb meaning to think. It functions as the second-person plural past tense in the indicative mood, used when speaking about thoughts or considerations that occurred in the past and involved multiple listeners or participants. In typical sentences it answers questions or states that a group has thought about something earlier.

In standard usage, gondoltatok conveys that the act of thinking has already taken place, and the subject is you all. The form appears in everyday speech and in written Hungarian across various genres, from casual conversation to literature and journalism. Arguments, reflections, or recollections can be expressed with this tense whenever a plural “you” is involved.

Morphology and orthography follow general Hungarian verb-conjugation patterns. The base is gondol-, the stem of gondolni (to think), and the past-tense plural suffix marks the second person plural form. Like other Hungarian past-tense forms, the exact spelling may vary with phonological context and surrounding vowels, but gondoltatok is the standard written form in most contexts.

Given its function as a regular grammatical form rather than a standalone concept, gondoltatok does not denote a separate organization, movement, or symbolic meaning. It is primarily of interest in discussions of Hungarian verb conjugation and syntax.
