Meghívtam

Meghívtam is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I invited.” It is the first-person singular past tense of the verb meghívni, which translates to “to invite.” The prefix meg- marks the verb as perfective, indicating a completed action, while hívat (the stem of hívni) carries the core sense of inviting or calling. The suffix -tam marks the first-person singular subject in the past tense. The construction is transitive and typically requires a direct object indicating who was invited, with possible follow-up phrases specifying time or place.

The word is part of a common verb family in Hungarian built around meghívni (to invite). The base noun related to the act is meghívás (an invitation), and another related noun is meghívó (an invitation card or notice). In usage, meghívtam is used when the speaker is recounting a completed invitation to someone or something, for example: Meghívtam őt vacsorára. (I invited him to dinner.) Meghívtam a csapatot a megbeszélésre. (I invited the team to the meeting.)

In grammatical terms, meghívtam is a finite, past tense verb form and cannot by itself function as a noun; it must be part of a full clause. It can be extended with additional objects or adjuncts to specify details of the invitation. The form is widely used in both spoken and written Hungarian to describe past actions of inviting others.
