Megemelkedtünk

Megemelkedtünk is a finite verb form in Hungarian, representing the first-person plural past tense of the verb megemelkedni. The base verb megemelkedni means to rise, go up, or increase to a higher level, and megemelkedtünk specifically indicates that the subject (we) performed the action in the past.

Morphology and usage details: The form megemelkedtünk is composed of the prefix meg-, the stem emelked-, the participial ending -ed-, and the personal ending -ünk for the first-person plural. It is used with a plural subject and denotes a completed or definite instance of rising or increasing. The same verb family includes emelkedni (to rise) and megemelkedni (to rise up or to increase, often with emphasis or completion). Other forms include megemelkedtem (I rose), megemelkedtél (you rose), megemelkedett (he/she/it rose), megemelkedtünk (we rose), megemelkedettetek (you all rose), megemelkedtek (they rose). In Hungarian, megemelkedni can describe physical ascent, economic or statistical increases, and other upward movements.

Nuance and typical contexts: Megemelkedtünk is appropriate when the speaker includes themselves with others in the rising action or increase. It can refer to tangible rises (e.g., temperatures, prices, levels) or more abstract improvements (e.g., performance, spirits), though for some contexts the simpler emelkedni or megemelkedni may be more common. The prefix meg- adds emphasis or marks a completed event.
