Limitálta

Limitálta is a Hungarian finite verb form meaning “he/she/it limited” in the past tense. It is the third-person singular past tense of the verb limitálni, which means to set a limit or to restrict. The base form limitál- takes the past tense suffix -ta in definite conjugations, yielding limitálta. In use, it indicates that a person or entity imposed a limitation at a previous time on quantities, permissions, time, or access.

Origin and usage: Limitál is a Hungarian loanword borrowed from the English word “limit,” adapted with Hungarian verb-forming suffixes. It is common in administrative, financial, and technical language to describe actions that cap or restrict something. The verb is transitive and can take direct objects such as kiadásokat (expenditures), hozzáférést (access), or számokat (numbers). The meaning contrasts with limitált, which is the adjective form meaning “limited,” as in limitált kiadás (limited edition).

Other related forms include limitálva (past passive participle; used with van/ volt to indicate a state), limitáló (restrictive, as a modifier), and limitálás (the act of limiting). Example sentences: “A vállalat limitálta a kiadásokat.” “A rendszer limitálta a felhasználói hozzáférést.” “Ez a termék limitált kiadásban érhető el.”
