Megnyomtatta

Megnyomtatta is a Hungarian finite verb form of the causative verb megnyomtatni, meaning to cause something to be printed or to have something printed by someone else. The prefix meg- conveys a sense of completion or obtaining a resultant state, while nyomtat means to print. The form megnyomtatta signals a past tense in which the subject arranged for printing (usually through a printer, publisher, or printing house) and the printing was carried out.
