Keresztelték

Keresztelték is the past passive participle of the Hungarian verb "keresztel," meaning "to baptize" or "to christen." As such, "keresztelték" translates to "they were baptized" or "they were christened." This grammatical form is used in Hungarian to indicate that a person or group of people underwent the sacrament of baptism. The context in which "keresztelték" appears will determine the specific number and gender of the subjects being referred to, though in this passive form, it implies an action performed upon them rather than by them.

The act of baptism, or "keresztség" in Hungarian, is a significant religious rite in Christianity, often marking an individual's entry into the church. Historically, when discussing families or communities, "keresztelték" might be used to signify that multiple individuals within that group received baptism. For example, a historical record might state that "a falu összes gyermekeit keresztelték" which means "all the children of the village were baptized." The verb conjugation indicates a past action completed by an unspecified agent or agents upon the subject. Understanding "keresztelték" requires awareness of Hungarian verb conjugation and the passive voice, which is common in religious and historical contexts.
