Leírta

Leírta is a Hungarian verb form derived from the infinitive leírni, meaning to write down, to describe, or to copy in writing. The prefix le- adds a sense of transcribing or setting something down in written form. Leírta specifically is the third-person singular past tense form, used to indicate that he, she, or it wrote something down or described something.

In Hungarian, leírni is an active transitive verb and can take a direct object. The past tense forms follow the standard personal endings: én leírtam, te leírtad, ő leírta, mi leírtuk, ti leírtátok, ők leírták. The form leírta is commonly used when the object is definite, as in "A tanár leírta a feladatot a táblára" (The teacher wrote down the task on the board). It can also convey a description in narrative contexts, for example: "Meglehetősen részletesen leírta az eseményeket" (He described the events in considerable detail).

Usage notes include that leírni emphasizes the act of putting writing to paper or presenting in written form, rather than merely speaking. The verb also appears in compound or extended sentences with various objects, such as books, notes, or events. Related forms include the past participle leírt and the noun leírás (description). Leírta thus functions as a common past-tense verb in Hungarian, used across formal and informal contexts to indicate that something was written down or described.
