Meghívtunk

Meghívtunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we invited.” It is the first-person plural past tense of the verb meghívni, which means to invite. The form is used when the subject includes the speaker and others and refers to inviting someone or some people to an event or occasion. In sentence use, the object can be explicit (for example, valakit or mindenkit) or understood from context.

Morphology and usage notes: Meghívtunk is built from the root hív- with the prefix megh- and the past tense suffix -tunk. It contrasts with other forms such as meghívunk (we invite) and meghívtam (I invited). Hungarian verb conjugation encodes person and number in the suffix, while the object of the action is determined by other elements of the sentence.

Cultural and linguistic context: In everyday Hungarian, meghívtunk is a common verb form used to recount past invitations. The phrase can also appear as a title or motif in Hungarian literature, film, or music, where it signals themes of invitation, social coordination, or the consequences of inviting or being invited.

Examples:

- Meghívtunk mindenkit a vacsorára. (We invited everyone to the dinner.)

- Meghívtunk egy barátot a rendezvényre. (We invited a friend to the event.)
