Megérkeztetek

Megérkeztetek is a Hungarian verb form that represents the second-person plural past tense of the verb megérkezni, meaning "to arrive." It is used when addressing multiple people who have completed the action of arriving. In English, it is commonly rendered as "you all arrived" or, depending on context, as "you have arrived" (Hungarian does not make a strict present-perfect distinction in the same way as English).

Formation and morphology: Megérkeztetek is formed with the prefix meg- added to the stem érkez- of érkezni, followed by the second-person plural past tense ending -etek. The form expresses a completed action (perfective aspect) and functions in the indicative mood. For reference, the standard past-tense forms of megérkezni include: én megérkeztem, te megérkeztél, ő megérkezett, mi megérkeztünk, ti megérkeztetek, ők megérkeztek. The word is written with the accented é in érkezés, and follows regular Hungarian spelling rules for this verb class.

Usage and nuance: The form is used when directing a statement or question to a group. It appears in dialogues, narrations, and announcements to indicate that the addressed group has arrived. Examples: Megérkeztetek a rendezvényre. Have you all arrived at the event? Megérkeztetek már? Have you all arrived yet?
