Gondoskodtál

Gondoskodtál is the second-person singular past tense form of the Hungarian verb gondoskodni, meaning to take care of or to look after. It is used to describe that you performed care-related actions in the past, for example taking care of people, tasks, or responsibilities. In a sentence, gondoskodtál typically appears with a direct object or a prepositional phrase specifying what was cared for, such as róla or a témáról.

Etymology and related forms: Gondoskodni is built from the root gond- (care, concern) and standard Hungarian verb formation. The noun gondoskodás means care or maintenance, while the adjective gondoskodó describes a person or attitude that is caring. The adverb gondosan means carefully. Distinct from aggódni (to worry), gondoskodni conveys proactive care and responsibility rather than anxiety.

Usage notes: Gondoskodtál is commonly used in both everyday and written Hungarian to recount or confirm past actions. It can refer to caring for people (gondoskodtál a gyerekekről), objects (gondoskodtál a készülékről), or duties (gondoskodtál a részletekről). In questions, it appears as te gondoskodtál...? and in statements as Te gondoskodtál rólam or a feladatról, depending on the context.

Example sentences:

- Gondoskodtál a gyerekekről a hétvégén. (You took care of the children over the weekend.)

- Gondoskodtál a részletekről, igaz? (You took care of the details, right?)

Overall, gondoskodtál is a direct, past-tense assertion of someone’s act of care by the addressed person.
