Konvertáltál

Konvertáltál is a Hungarian verb form that translates to "you converted." It is the second-person singular past simple (igeidő) form of the verb konvertálni, which means to convert or transform something from one form to another. The form is used when addressing someone informally in the past.

Etymology and formation: The verb konvertálni is a loanword in Hungarian, adopted into the language from Western European technical vocabulary. It is derived from the idea of converting or turning something into a different form, with the noun form konvertálás meaning "conversion." The suffix -tál in konvertáltál marks the second-person singular past tense.

Grammar and usage: Konvertálni is a transitive verb, so konvertáltál generally appears with a direct object representing what was converted (for example a file, currency, or data). The past tense conveys a completed action. The sense of konvertálás is common in technical, financial, and computing contexts, but the verb can also be used in broader situations involving any kind of transformation or exchange.

Contexts and examples: In computing, one might say, "Te konvertáltál egy fájlt a CSV formátumba." In finance, "Te konvertáltál át valutát." In everyday speech, it can appear in discussions of changes from one format or system to another or, less commonly, in religious or ideological contexts where “conversion” is implied.
