Húzott

Húzott is a Hungarian word that functions as both the past tense form of the verb húz (to pull or to draw) and as a past participle used as an adjective. The form is created from the stem húz by adding the suffix -ott/-ett, with typical assimilation leading to húzott. In finite use, húzott marks the past tense for third-person singular, as in the sentence ő húzott meaning “he pulled.”

As a participle adjective, húzott describes something that has been pulled, drawn, or stretched. It can modify nouns to convey a completed pulling action or a state resulting from pulling. For example, in a simple sentence, a phrase like a férfi húzott egy kötelet would translate to “the man pulled a rope.” In descriptive or visual contexts, it can appear as húzott vonal, meaning a drawn or sketched line on a surface or map, indicating something that has been drawn rather than produced by another action.

Usage notes:

- Húzott can function as a finite verb form (past tense) or as a non-finite participial adjective.

- It commonly appears in plain, everyday speech as well as in written Hungarian, including journalism and literature.

- Related forms include the present participle húzó (pulling) and the noun húzás (the act of pulling).

- húz, the base verb

- húzó, present participle

- húzás, the act of pulling

Húzott thus serves as a versatile form in Hungarian, linked to both a completed action in time and a descriptive state arising from that action.
