Töltöttek

Töltöttek is a Hungarian verb form meaning they filled or they stuffed, and it stems from the verb tölteni, to fill or to stuff. It is most commonly encountered in narrative past tense when describing actions performed by multiple subjects.

In grammar, töltöttek denotes the third-person plural past tense. The form is used when the direct object is indefinite or not emphasized, and it can appear in various contexts such as filling containers, loading items, or packing something with content. In standard Hungarian, forms with definite objects sometimes appear with different endings (for example töltötték), and in compound constructions the prefix ki- or meg- creates related meanings such as kitöltöttek (they filled out) or megtöltötték (they filled up completely). Thus töltöttek can function both as a simple past tense form and as the stem in longer phrases.

Usage examples in Hungarian include:

- Ők vizet töltöttek a palackokba. (They filled the bottles with water.)

- A cikk szerint töltöttek meg több űrlapot a nyomtatványokkal. (According to the article, they filled out several forms.)

- Kitöltöttek egy formát: kitöltöttek. (They filled out a form.)
