Nyilvánítottál

Nyilvánítottál is a conjugated form of the Hungarian verb nyilvánítani, which means to declare, state publicly, or reveal. The form represents the second-person singular past tense (indicative mood), used when addressing someone with the pronoun you and referring to a past action of declaring or expressing something.

In Hungarian, nyilvánítottál can take different objects depending on context. If the object is indefinite, the form is nyilvánítottál; if the object is definite, a closely related form such as nyilvánítottad is used to mark the definite past. The choice of variant reflects the definite/indefinite past distinction that governs Hungarian finite verbs.

Usage and nuance: nyilvánítottál generally conveys that you declared or publicly expressed something at a past moment. It is common in spoken language, literary narration, and formal reporting when addressing a listener directly. Examples include expressing an opinion in a discussion or making a public statement about a matter.

Etymology and related forms: nyilvánítani is built from nyilván-, meaning public or open, with the suffix -ít- to form a verb; the infinitive yields various conjugations, including nyilvánítok (I declare), nyilvánítottál (you declared), nyilvánítottad (you declared with a definite object), etc. Related verbs that express similar acts include kijelenteni (to state) and megnyilvánítani (to reveal or disclose more emphatically).
