Szenvedtem

Szenvedtem is the first-person singular past tense form of the Hungarian verb szenvedni, which means "to suffer." The form indicates that the speaker experienced suffering, hardship, or distress at a time in the past.

In usage, szenvedtem can refer to physical pain, emotional discomfort, or difficult circumstances. It is commonly used with a cause or source of suffering, such as illness, deprivation, or hardship, for example: "betegségtől szenvedtem" (I suffered from the illness). It can also appear in narrative or autobiographical contexts to describe past experiences of hardship.

Grammatically, szenvedtem is part of the standard conjugation of szenvedni. The present tense forms include szenvedek (I suffer), szenvedsz (you suffer), and szenved (he/she/it suffers). The related noun szenvedés translates to "suffering," and the adjective szenvedő describes a person or thing that endures or experiences suffering.

Szenvedtem appears alongside other forms that convey different persons and tenses, but its core meaning remains the same: a statement about past suffering or hardship experienced by the speaker. It is used in both everyday language and literary writing to convey personal adversity, endurance, or hardship.
