Találkozott

Találkozott is the third-person singular past tense form of the Hungarian verb találkozik, meaning "to meet" or "to encounter." It denotes a completed act of meeting someone in the past, and it is used with a subject such as he, she, or it.

In use, találkozott is typically combined with the personal pronoun subject and, when the meeting is with a specific person, with valakivel meaning "with someone." For example, "Múlt pénteken találkozott a régi barátjával" translates to "He met his old friend last Friday." The verb is intransitive in most contexts, though its typical pattern is to describe an encounter rather than a deliberate action toward an object.

Conjugation patterns include other persons in the past: találkoztam (I met), találkoztál (you met), találkoztunk (we met), találkoztatok (you all met), and találkoztak (they met). The stem and ending reflect Hungarian past tense morphology, with the -ott/-ett/-ött suffixes varying to agree with the stem’s phonology.

The noun most closely related is találkozó, meaning "a meeting" or "an encounter." The verb and noun share the root talál-, which is related to the idea of finding or coming upon someone.

Notes on usage: találkozott emphasizes a completed event and is commonly used for informal and formal contexts alike. It should not be confused with the present tense találkozik or the infinitive találkozni, which describe ongoing or general encounters.
