Nevezte

Nevezte is a Hungarian verb form that translates to “named” or “named as” in English. It is the third-person singular past tense of nevezni, the verb meaning “to name” or “to call.” In usage, nevezte indicates that the subject performed the act of naming something in the past, with the thing named typically appearing as the direct object and any name given expressed in the surrounding nominal phrase.

In Hungarian, past tense forms vary with aspects such as definite versus indefinite objects, but nevezte is the standard past-tense form for the third person in ordinary sentences. It can occur in simple clauses such as “Ő nevezte el a kutyát” (He named the dog) or in other constructions where a name is assigned to a person or thing. The form is a finite verb form derived from nevezni and is not a separate lexical item.

Etymology and relation to other forms: nevezni belongs to native Hungarian verbs; its root is tied to the noun név, meaning “name.” The form nevezte is simply one conjugated past tense form used to report naming actions. It should not be confused with a proper noun or with a separate word; its function is grammatical, marking tense and subject rather than introducing a new lexical meaning.
