Mulasztott

Mulasztott is a Hungarian verb form meaning missed or omitted. It is the past tense form of the verb mulasztani, which means to omit, neglect, or fail to do something. In sentences, mulasztott expresses that someone neglected an action or did not perform it as required.

Etymology and meaning: mulasztani is built from the root mulaszt- plus the customary past tense suffix -ott. The word conveys a failure to carry out a duty, an opportunity, or an expected action. The related noun mulasztás denotes the act of omitting or the state of neglect, and is used in both everyday language and formal or legal contexts to refer to a lapse or omission.

Usage and grammar: Mulasztott is primarily a finite verb form used in the past tense. It agrees with a third-person subject in number and person. The corresponding forms in the present tense are mulasztok (I omit), mulasztasz (you omit), mulaszt (he/she/it omits). The past tense forms include mulasztottam (I missed), mulasztottad (you missed), mulasztott (he/she/it missed), mulasztottunk (we missed), mulasztottatok (you all missed), mulasztottak (they missed). In standard usage, mulasztott can take a direct object, as in “mulasztottam elkészíteni a jelentést” (I neglected to prepare the report) or “mulasztotta a határidőt” (he missed the deadline).

See also: Mulasztás (omission, lapse), mulasztani (to omit, to neglect). See also related concepts such as elmaradás (delinquency, delay) and kihagyás (omission, gap) in different contexts.

In translation, mulasztott generally corresponds to “missed” or “omitted” in English, with nuance depending on whether the omission was intentional or due to neglect.
