Megvettük

Megvettük is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we bought” (with the nuance of “we have bought” in appropriate contexts). It is the first-person plural past tense of megvenni, the verb meaning to buy. The prefix meg- signals the perfective aspect, indicating the action is completed, and vett is the stem derived from venni (to buy). The suffix -ük marks the first-person plural form in the definite past.

Megvettük is typically used with a definite direct object, as in Megvettük a házat (We bought the house) or Megvettük a jegyeket (We bought the tickets). In contexts without a definite object, Hungarian may employ other past forms such as vettük or include an explicit object to convey the meaning.

The form is common in everyday spoken Hungarian as well as in written language, and it can describe purchases, acquisitions, or decisions to buy something. It appears in narratives, reports, and conversations about shopping, property, or business acquisitions.

Related forms include megvetted (you bought it), megvette (he/she bought it), and megvették (they bought it). The base verb megvenni belongs to a broader class of Hungarian perfective verbs formed with the prefix meg- to indicate completed actions.
