Megküzdött

Megküzdött is a Hungarian verb form meaning “has fought through” or “has coped with.” It is the past tense of the lemma megküzd, which means to struggle with or to overcome difficulties. The word conveys that someone has completed an effort to deal with a challenge or adversity.

Etymology and form: The form is built from the prefix meg- attached to the root küzd, with a past tense suffix that marks completed action. Megküzdţi forms occur across different grammatical persons: megküzdöttem (I fought through), megküzdöttél (you fought through), megküzdött (he/she/it fought through), megküzdöttünk (we fought through), megküzdöttetek, megküzdöttek. In usage, megküzdött emphasizes the successful overcoming of difficulties rather than merely attempting them.

Usage and nuances: Megküzdött is typically used in contexts where there was significant effort, resistance, or endurance, often in the face of hardship, danger, or competition. It can describe personal effort, such as overcoming obstacles, or collective challenges, like a team or organization overcoming difficulties. The term often carries a tone of resilience and determination, rather than a casual or passive handling of problems.

- A diák megküzdött a nehéz vizsgákkal, és végül sikerült megírnia őket.

- A vállalat megküzdött a gazdasági válsággal, és talpra állt.
