Tanítottad

Tanítottad is a Hungarian verb form representing the past definite second-person singular of the verb tanítani, meaning “to teach.” It corresponds to “you taught” in English, used when the action is in the past and the direct object is definite or contextually specified (for example: you taught this lesson, you taught the students something specific).

Morphology and usage context: The base form is tanít- (to teach). The past definite, second-person singular form is tanítottad, created by adding the past marking to the stem and the definite-object marking for the second person. This contrasts with tanítottál (past indefinite, you taught) when the object is not definite or not specified. Hungarian distinguishes definite and indefinite past by verb endings, and tanítottad signals that the teaching acted on a known or previously identified object.

Related forms: Other related conjugations of tanítani include tanítok (I teach), tanítasz (you teach), tanítottam (I taught), tanítottál (you taught, indefinite), tanítottuk (we taught), tanítottátok (you taught, plural), tanították (they taught). These forms share the same verb root but vary by person, number, and the definite/indefinite aspect of the past.

Examples:

- Tanítottad ezt a leckét. (You taught this lesson.)

- Tanítottad a diákokat matematikából? (Did you teach the students mathematics?)
