Kiadták

Kiadták is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they released,” “they published,” or “they issued.” It is the past tense, third-person plural, of the verb kiadni, which denotes making something available to the public or distributing it to recipients. The form is commonly used in journalism, official communications, and everyday language to indicate that an item or information has been made public by an authority, organization, or group of people.

Etymology and grammar: kiadni is a compound of ki- (a prefix implying outward direction or completion) and adni (to give). In the past tense, the stem kiad- takes the suffix -ták to signal third-person plural, yielding kiadták. Hungarian verbs regularly align with subject person and number, so kiadták can refer to a range of actors, from ministries and companies to media outlets, depending on the sentence context.

Usage and contexts: Kiadták is used when reporting or describing the act of releasing or publishing something. Common contexts include official documents (laws, regulations, statements), publications (books, reports, press releases), or items distributed to the public. It is often paired with direct objects such as a document, announcement, or publication, e.g., “A rendeletet kiadták,” “A közleményt kiadták,” or “A kiadványt kiadták.”

See also: kiadni, kiad, kiadott, megjelent, közzétesz. While kiadták specifies a past action by multiple subjects, other forms of kiadni convey different tenses or numbers.

In sum, kiadták serves as a concise, neutral marker in Hungarian for the completion of a public release by multiple actors.
