Tudtátok

Tudtátok is the second-person plural past tense form of the Hungarian verb tudni, meaning “to know.” It corresponds to “you all knew” in English and is used when addressing multiple people informally. In formal or polite contexts, a different form is used (typically tudták after a third-person plural subject such as Önök).

Formation and grammar: The form is built from the stem tud-, with the past tense marker -t-, plus the second-person plural suffix -átok, yielding tudtátok. The pronunciation combines the consonant cluster dt, which is common in Hungarian past forms. The word can appear in questions with the question particle -e, as in Tudtátok-e…?

Usage and notes: Tudtátok is common in everyday speech and in narrative dialogue. It denotes knowledge or awareness of a fact in the past and is directed at a group of listeners. When addressing a group formally, speakers typically use a third-person plural past form, such as tudták (with Önök as the subject), rather than tudtátok.

Examples:

- Tudtátok, hogy a megbeszélés elhalasztásra került? (Did you all know that the meeting was postponed?)

- Tudtátok-e, ki volt az ajtóban? (Did you all know who was at the door?)
