Gyjtötte

Gyjtötte is the form used in Hungarian to express the third-person singular definite past tense of the verb gyűjteni, meaning to collect or to gather. In properly diacriticked Hungarian, the standard spelling is gyűjtötte. The form gyjtötte may appear in plain ASCII texts or in contexts where diacritic marks are omitted, but it is not the preferred form in formal writing.

Etymology and grammar: The verb gyűjteni (to collect) yields the past definite form gyűjtötte for he or she who performed the action. The suffix -ötte marks the past tense for a definite object, and vowel harmony influences the final vowels. When diacritics are stripped in digital contexts, gyűjtötte can be rendered in several nonstandard variants, such as gyujtotte or gyjtotte, depending on how ü and ö are handled.

Usage: Gyűjtötte is used when the subject has a specific object that was collected. Example: Ő gyűjtötte a leveleket. In practice, ASCII-only or heavily simplified texts may show altered spellings, but gyűjtötte remains the standard form in normal Hungarian orthography.

Relation to related terms: The root gyűjt- is used in related words such as gyűjtés (collection) and gyűjtemény (collection, anthology). These terms share the same semantic field of gathering materials, data, or items.

Notable notes: Gyjtötte is not a separate noun or place name; it is a verb form. The term’s appearance without diacritics is mainly a concern for digital typography, OCR, or older typewriters, rather than a distinct lexical entry. See also gyűjtés and gyűjteni for broader usage.
