Megtévesztek

Megtévesztek is a Hungarian verb form. It represents the second-person plural present indicative of the verb megtévesz, which means to mislead or deceive. As a finite verb form, megtévesztek functions as the predicate in a sentence and refers to an action performed by you all.

The verb megtévesz is formed from the base téveszt, meaning “to mislead,” with the prefix meg- adding a sense of completeness or totality. The present tense conjugation attaches the second-person plural ending -tek, yielding megtévesztek. Like other Hungarian verb forms, it carries subject information only through the ending, so the explicit subject is often omitted in everyday speech.

Usage of megtévesztek occurs when addressing multiple people who are performing the act of deception. It can appear in declarative, interrogative, or conditional contexts, and it commonly co-occurs with direct or indirect objects. In neutral writing, it may describe actions such as spreading false information or misleading others.

Example: Ti megtévesztek bennünket ezzel a történettel. This translates roughly to “You (all) are deceiving us with this story.” Related terms include megtévesztés (deception or mislead­ing), megtévesztő (deceptive), and becsapás or félrevezetés as synonyms for deception. Use of the form requires awareness of its plural subject and the object of deception.
