Mozgatott

Mozgatott is the past tense form of the Hungarian verb mozgat, meaning moved or caused to move. It is used to describe a completed action in which something was moved or set in motion by someone or something. The base verb mozgat covers movements of objects, the operation of mechanisms, and more figurative senses such as mobilizing resources or prompting action.

In everyday use, mozgatott typically refers to physical movement. Examples include: A dolgozó mozgatott egy nehéz dobozt a raktárban (The worker moved a heavy box in the warehouse) and A gép mozgatott egy alkatrészt (The machine moved a component). The sense can also extend to mobilizing or deploying things or people, for instance, a hadsereg mozgatott erőforrásokat (the army mobilized resources).

Grammatically, mozgatott marks the third-person singular past simple tense. The infinitive form is mozgat, and the word can appear in compound tenses alongside auxiliary forms. The past tense form mozgatott can also function as a past participle in some contexts, though in practice it is most commonly understood as the finite verb form indicating a completed action.

Related terms include mozgatás (the act of moving or actuation) and mozgató (an agent that moves, or an actuator in mechanical contexts). The root mozgat is derived from the base concept of movement found in mozog (to move), and is part of a family of words describing motion, triggers, and mechanisms in Hungarian.
