Meglátogattuk

Meglátogattuk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we visited.” It is the first-person plural past definite form of the verb meglátogat, which means to visit someone or somewhere as a guest or visitor. The form is built with the prefix meg- to indicate completion and the suffix -tuk to mark the definite object and the plural subject in the past tense.

In typical usage, meglátogattuk requires a definite object, as in the example “Meglátogattuk a múzeumot” — “We visited the museum.” When the object is clear from context, the object can be omitted and the verb alone conveys the meaning. The tense and aspect emphasize that the visiting action was completed.

The expression is common in travel writing, diary entries, and news reports to indicate that a visit occurred. The tone is neutral and factual, unless additional wording is added to express evaluation or sentiment.

Etymologically, the form derives from the core verb látogat with the prefix meg- signaling completion, resulting in a past definite first-person plural construction. Meglátogattuk forms part of the broader Hungarian verb conjugation system, with related forms for other subjects and tenses such as meglátogattad, meglátogatta, and so on.
