Indította

Indította is a conjugated form of the Hungarian verb indít, which means to start, initiate, or launch. Specifically, indította is the third-person singular past definite (befeljezett múlt idő) form, used when the action is directed at a definite direct object. In English, it corresponds roughly to “he/she started (it)” or “they started (it)” depending on the subject, with the object made explicit in the sentence.

Formation and spelling are regular within Hungarian conjugation rules. The stem indít combines with the past definite suffix -otta, yielding indította. The result is written with the characteristic double t due to the stem ending in t and the added suffix.

Usage notes:

- Indította is typically used when the object of the action is definite. For example: "Ő indította a kampányt." meaning "He started the campaign." In everyday language, the object may be explicit or understood from context.

- The verb can appear with optional prefixes or particles to add nuance. A common related form is elindította, which also means “launched” or “initiated,” but with a prefix that emphasizes starting a process or bringing something into motion.

Common contexts:

- News reports and official statements describing actions taken by organizations or individuals.

- Narrative prose recounting prior actions in a sequence of events.

Related terms:

- indít (bare infinitive): to start or initiate.

- elindította: a closely related form emphasizing the initiation or launch of a process.

- múlt idő forms in Hungarian: many past tense forms in the definite conjugation share the same suffix pattern.

Indította thus serves as a compact, formal way to attribute a completed act of starting or initiating to a subject, with a definite object clearly indicated.
