Lezártam

Lezártam is a Hungarian verb form that translates roughly as “I closed,” “I sealed off,” or “I concluded.” It is the first-person singular past tense (indicative) of the verb lezárni, meaning to close off, seal, or bring to a finish. The form is built from the stem lezár- with the prefix le- indicating completion or separation, plus the ending -tam for the past tense first person singular. As a transitive verb, lezárni requires a direct object; the past tense form lezártam is used with either a definite object or in contexts where the object is implicit.

Usage: Lezártam is commonly used for physical closure (doors, gates, roads), administrative or procedural closure (cases, files, projects), and metaphorical closure (conversations, chapters). Examples: Lezártam az ajtót. Lezártam az ügyet. Lezártam a projektet a határidő előtt. A beszélgetést lezártam udvariasan.

Notes: In Hungarian, the choice between past definite and past indefinite affects other forms, but lezártam remains the standard first-person singular past form in everyday language. The verb is the base for related forms: lezárom (present), lezárod, lezárja (he/she closes), and lezárás (closure, sealing). Translations into English depend on context: I closed, I sealed, I finished, or I concluded.
