Kalibráltak

Kalibráltak is a conjugated form of the Hungarian verb kalibrálni, meaning “they calibrated.” It is the third-person plural past tense (perfekt) in the active voice, used to indicate that a group completed the action of calibration, typically of measuring instruments or sensors. As a finite verb form, kalibráltak requires a plural subject and usually an object that was calibrated.

Etymology and usage context: Kalibrálni belongs to a technical vocabulary related to measurement and accuracy. The term is a loanword in Hungarian, with cognates in several European languages (for example Kalibrieren in German, calibrer in French). In metrology and industry, calibration is the process of adjusting a device to align its readings with reference standards, ensuring traceability and comparability of measurements over time.

Typical usage: Kalibráltak is used when the subject performing the action is plural. Examples include: A mérőeszközöket kalibrálták a laborban. (They calibrated the measuring instruments in the laboratory.) Kalibráltak a szenzorokat a termelési soron. (They calibrated the sensors on the production line.) In many contexts, the action is described with the corresponding form kalibrálták or with the infinitive kalibrálni in subordinate clauses; kalibráltak by itself can appear in elliptical or reported-speech structures.

Significance: Calibration remains essential in science, engineering and manufacturing to maintain accuracy, reliability, and regulatory compliance. Calibration certificates document identity, methods, reference standards, and measurement uncertainty.
