Ragasztottam

Ragasztottam is the first-person singular past tense form of the Hungarian verb ragasztani, meaning “to glue” or “to paste.” It indicates a completed action in the past, where the speaker performed gluing on a direct object.

Morphology and usage: The infinitive ragasztani becomes ragasztottam in the first-person past tense. The stem ragaszt- ends with a consonant, so the past tense suffix -ott- is added, producing the double-t consonant in many forms (ragasztottam). Other past tense forms follow the same pattern: ragasztottad (you glued), ragasztotta (he/she glued), ragasztottuk (we glued), ragasztottátok (you all glued), ragasztották (they glued). The verb is transitive, typically requiring a direct object (for example, an item to be glued) and a target or surface to attach it to.

Related forms and etymology: Ragasztottam is closely linked to ragasztó and ragasztás. Ragasztó means adhesive or glue, and ragasztás refers to the act or process of gluing. The noun ragasztó is derived from the verb with the -ó suffix, signaling its relation to adhesion and gluing. The word ragasztani is native Hungarian and is used for both physical sticking and, in some contexts, figurative sticking things together.

Examples: Tegnap ragasztottam fel egy cetlit a falra. A címkét ragasztottam az üvegre. These illustrate the typical use of ragasztottam to describe past gluing actions.
