Megkapták

Megkapták is a Hungarian verb form derived from megkapni, meaning to receive or obtain. It is the third-person plural past tense form used to indicate that multiple subjects have received something. The prefix meg- adds a sense of completion or attainment to the root kapni (to receive).

In usage, megkapták commonly appears in narratives, reports, and everyday speech to describe an event where several people obtained an item, information, or another receivable. Examples include megkapták az értesítést (they received the notification), megkapták a levelet (they got the letter), and megkapták az ajándékot (they received the gift). The form is typically used when the subject is ők (they), and it often occurs with a definite direct object, though it can appear in contexts where the object is understood from context.

Morphologically, megkapták is built from meg- plus kapni with the past tense suffix corresponding to ők. The verb megkapni belongs to the class of prefixed, perfective verbs in Hungarian, where meg- signals completion of the action and kapt- is the stem related to receiving.

Related forms include megkapni (to receive), megkapni (archaic/rare variant in some dialects), megkaptam (I received), megkaptad (you received), and megkaptuk (we received). The prefix meg- is common across many Hungarian verbs to indicate completed, attained, or accomplished actions.
