Rendeltek

Rendeltek is a Hungarian verb form that represents the past tense and the subject in the third person plural. Specifically, it is the past tense of the verb rendel, meaning that in a sentence with a plural subject, the action of ordering or prescribing is described as having happened in the past. The form is commonly used in both spoken and written Hungarian.

Morphology and usage details: The base verb rendel carries senses such as to order goods or services and to prescribe medicine. In the past tense, the third person plural ending is -tek or -ték, depending on vowel harmony, producing rendeltek. This form signals that a group performed the action in the past, for example a company, a committee, or doctors acting together in a treatment context. The same root may carry related meanings when combined with different objects, as in ordering items for delivery or prescribing medications for patients.

Semantic scope: Rendeltek can refer to commercial ordering (they ordered goods or supplies) as well as medical prescription (they prescribed medicine). The precise sense is determined by the objects and context in which the verb is used. In narrative and report language, rendeltek often appears in summaries of decisions, procurement, or medical treatments carried out by multiple actors.

Examples:

- A cég rendelte és rendelte meg több szoftvert és eszközt, majd rendelte a szállítást. (A company ordered and arranged delivery of several software licenses and devices.)

- A háziorvosok rendeltek gyógyszert a betegeknek a hét folyamán. (The general practitioners prescribed medication for the patients during the week.)
