Megtanultam

Megtanultam is a Hungarian verb form meaning "I learned" or "I have learned." It is the first-person singular past tense of the verb megtanulni, which means "to learn" or "to master." The prefix meg- indicates a completed or perfective action, the base verb is tanul, and the suffix -tam marks the first-person past tense. The result is a transitive construction that typically takes a direct object in the accusative (for example, Megtanultam a verset, I learned the poem by heart).

In grammatical terms, megtanulni is a complex, but common, verb built from the root tanul (to learn) with the perfective prefix meg- to express completion. Megtanultam thus conveys that the speaker has completed the learning of something in the past. The exact English rendering can be "I learned" or, when the context implies relevance to the present, "I have learned." The form is used in narrative and everyday speech to recount skills, facts, or pieces of knowledge that have been acquired.

Usage notes and examples:

- Megtanultam a verset. (I learned the poem by heart.)

- Megtanultam angolul beszélni, de még gyakorlom. (I learned to speak English, and I’m still practicing.)

capitalization follows standard Hungarian rules: in running text it is lowercased, while Megtanultam may appear with a capital M at the beginning of a sentence or as a title.
