Hazudtunk

Hazudtunk is the first-person plural past tense form of the Hungarian verb hazudik, meaning to lie or to tell a falsehood. It translates to "we lied" in English and is used when the speaker or speakers include themselves in the action of lying. The form appears in narrative, reported speech, or confessional contexts.

Morphology and usage: hazudik belongs to the regular conjugation pattern for lies, with hazudunk used in the present tense (we lie) and hazudtunk in the past tense (we lied). It is commonly followed by what was lied about, as in hazudtunk valamiről (we lied about something) or hazudtunk az adatok pontosságáról (we lied about the accuracy of the data). The phrase can stand alone as a confession in informal contexts.

Examples:

- Hazudtunk az adatok pontosságáról.

- A nyilatkozatban elismerték, hogy hazudtunk.

Hazudtunk can appear across registers, from everyday speech to journalism or formal statements, whenever the speaker or group acknowledges having stated something false.
