Tökéletesítették

Tökéletesítették is a form of the Hungarian verb tökéletesít, meaning “they perfected” or “they refined.” It is the third person plural past tense form, used when the subject is plural and the action occurred in the past. The base verb tökéletesít means to make something more perfect, to improve or refine something toward perfection.

Etymology and morphology: tökéletesít derives from tökéletes (perfect, complete) with the suffix -ít to form a transitive verb meaning “to perfect.” The past tense suffix -ték marks the third person plural, indicating that the action was completed by multiple agents. In Hungarian, this form can appear in both definite and indefinite past contexts, depending on the sentence structure and direct objects.

Usage: The form is common in technical, scientific, and journalistic writing, as well as in everyday language, whenever a group is described as having improved or refined something. It often emphasizes systematic improvement, correction of flaws, or enhancement of features through evaluation, testing, or development processes.

- A mérnökök tökéletesítették a prototípust.
