Másoltuk

Másoltuk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we copied.” It is the past definite (also called preterite) form of the verb másol, used when the direct object is definite or when the action is reported with a definite reference. More broadly, másol means to copy, duplicate, or imitate text, data, or objects, and can also be used in contexts such as reproducing documents or cloning digital files.

Morphology and usage notes:

Másoltuk is formed from the stem másol + the past definite suffix -tuk, yielding the spelling másoltuk. This form explicitly marks the action as completed and performed by “us.” In contrast, other persons or tenses use different endings (for example, másolok for “I copy,” másolunk for “we copy”). The verb is transitive and typically accompanied by a definite object, such as másoltuk a jelentést (we copied the report) or másoltuk a fájlokat (we copied the files). The noun másolat means “copy,” and the related noun másoló refers to a copier or copying device.

Context and examples:

Másoltuk a jelentést, hogy mindenki hozzáférhessen. In computing, the verb is common when describing file operations, such as másoltuk a fájlokat a meghajtóra (we copied the files to the drive). The form is seldom used in isolation without an object, but it remains a valid past-tense assertion.

Related terms:

másolás (copying/duplication), másolat (a copy), másoló (copier). These forms share the same root and are used across text, data, and media contexts.
