Megmutattad

Megmutattad is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you showed” or “you demonstrated,” and it is the second-person singular past definite indicative form of the verb megmutat, which means “to show.” The prefix meg- adds a sense of completion or definitiveness to the action, while mutat is the base meaning “to show.” The ending -ttad results from the definite past conjugation used when the action is directed at a specific, identifiable object.

In Hungarian grammar, the past tense has two sets of endings depending on whether the object is definite or indefinite. Megmutattad uses the definite past ending for the second person singular, producing the familiar form megmutattad. This contrasts with the indefinite past form, which would be used when the object is not specified. The form integrates with pronouns or noun phrases that denote the object, for example: Megmutattad a fényképet. “You showed the photograph.”

Usage and examples: Megmutattad neki, hol van a könyvtár. You showed him/her where the library is. Megmutattad, mit tudsz csinálni. You showed what you can do. The construction is common in both spoken and written Hungarian and can appear in narrative recounts, conversations, and instructional contexts.

Related forms include the infinitive megmutat, the first-person singular megmutattam, and other person-number combinations such as megmutattad, megmutatta, megmutattuk, megmutatjátok, megmutatták.
