Határozta

Határozta is a form of the Hungarian verb határoz, used in the past tense with a singular subject. The verb határoz means to determine, decide, or set, and határozta corresponds to the English “he/she determined” or “you (formal/the subject) determined” depending on the sentence context.

In standard Hungarian, határozta is most often encountered in written or formal language. It commonly appears in constructions such as határozta meg, meaning “defined/determined” or “set.” For example: A bizottság határozta meg a határidőt. (The committee determined the deadline.) The form can also stand alone as the simple past: A polgármester határozta el a döntést. (The mayor determined the decision.)

Phonology and morphology: határozta is the third-person singular preterite (past) form of határoz. It is related to other forms such as határoz, határozza (present), határozzák (they determine), and to related nouns like határozat (decree, resolution) and határozottság (decisiveness).

Usage notes: határozta is less common in everyday spoken Hungarian, where synonyms like döntött or állapított meg may be used depending on nuance. It often conveys a sense of an official or formal determination, sometimes implying a completed and binding action.
