Másoltál

Másoltál is the second-person singular past tense form of the Hungarian verb másolni, meaning to copy or reproduce. It indicates that you performed a copying action at some point in the past. The form is common in everyday speech and does not encode formality; it is used when addressing someone directly as “you.”

Grammar and usage notes: Másoltál is formed from the verb root másol- with the past tense suffix -tál. It is the indefinit past (teljes múlt) form for "you." It typically takes a direct object in the accusative, for example: Másoltál egy fájlt? (Did you copy a file?) Másoltál egy példányt ebből a jelentésből? (Did you copy a copy of this report?) The phrase can be embedded in questions or statements and is used with time expressions to specify when the copying occurred.

Contexts: The verb covers both physical copying and digital duplication. In IT and computing, másolás refers to copying data or files, often via actions like copying and pasting (Másolás). In everyday language, it can describe duplicating a document, image, or text for reference or backup. The term can carry different nuances depending on context, including legitimate duplication or simple reproduction of content.

Related forms and terms: The infinitive is másolni; the noun is másolat (a copy) and the process noun másolás (copying). The past participle is másolt, and the imperative form is Másolj (Copy!). Examples illustrate typical usage in conversation and writing.
