Szólaltatott

The Hungarian word "szólaltatott" is the past tense, singular, definite, third-person form of the verb "szólaltat". This verb generally translates to "to make speak", "to give voice to", or "to sound". The root of the verb is "szól", meaning "to speak" or "to sound". The suffix "-tat" is a causative suffix, indicating that the subject caused the object to perform the action of speaking or sounding. Therefore, "szólaltatott" describes an action where someone or something caused another entity to speak or produce sound in the past.

For example, in a sentence like "A hír megint megszólaltatta a telefonomat" (The news made my phone ring again), "megszólaltatta" is a related form that implies the news acted as the stimulus for the phone to ring. More directly, "A zenész megszólaltatta a hegedűjét" (The musician made his violin sound) would use a similar verb form. "Szólaltatott" specifically implies a completed action in the past by a third-person subject on a definite object. Its precise nuance depends on the context, but it always conveys the idea of causing something to emit sound or utter words.
