Megkérdeztetekmegkérdezhettetek

Megkérdeztetekmegkérdezhettetek is a Hungarian grammatical construction that combines two distinct verb forms. The first part, "megkérdeztetek," is the second-person plural past tense of the verb "megkérdez," meaning "to ask." It directly translates to "you (plural) asked." The second part, "megkérdezhettetek," is the second-person plural past conditional tense of the same verb. This translates to "you (plural) could have asked" or "you (plural) might have asked."

The combination of these two forms in a single utterance, "megkérdeztetekmegkérdezhettetek," creates a complex statement that can express a nuanced meaning. It often implies a missed opportunity or a situation where a question was either asked, or could have been asked but wasn't. The speaker is addressing a group of people, acknowledging that they performed the action of asking in the past, but also suggesting that there was a possibility for them to have asked that perhaps they did not utilize.

This specific phrasing is not a standard, grammatically independent sentence but rather a rhetorical device or an expression used in informal contexts. It highlights a contrast between an action that occurred and a potential action that did not. The exact interpretation can depend heavily on the intonation and the surrounding context of the conversation. It serves to point out a missed chance for inquiry.
