Nyújtotta

Nyújtotta is a Hungarian verb form that functions as the third-person singular past tense of nyújtani, meaning to stretch, extend, or to offer. The exact meaning depends on the object used with the verb: it can describe a physical action, such as extending a body part, or a figurative action, such as presenting or offering something.

As a finite verb form, nyújtotta appears in narrative or descriptive prose to place an action in the past. For example, nyújtotta a kezét translates to “he extended his hand,” while nyújtotta ajánlatát can mean “he offered his proposal.” The word is derived from the verb nyújtani, with the past-tense suffix and inflection applied to agree with the subject.

In usage, nyújtotta is common in everyday language as well as in literature. It does not function as a standalone noun; rather, it is a conjugated form of nyújtani. Context and objects following the verb determine whether the sense is physical extension, offering, or submitting something.

Etymologically, nyújtani is a basic Hungarian verb with several related forms (present tense nyújtok, past forms nyújtott, nyújtotta, etc.), all sharing the core meaning of extending or presenting. Nyújtotta, therefore, belongs to that family of forms and is routinely encountered in written and spoken Hungarian.
