Változtatták

"Változtatták" is the third-person plural past indefinite indicative form of the Hungarian verb "változtat," meaning "to change" or "to alter." This grammatical form indicates that a group of people or entities performed the action of changing something in the past, and the speaker is not directly involved or witnessing the action. It conveys a sense of completed action without specifying the exact time or duration. For instance, "A törvényt megváltoztatták" translates to "They changed the law." The verb "változtat" itself is derived from the noun "változás," meaning "change." The "-tták" suffix signifies the past tense, third-person plural, and the definite object conjugation, implying that a specific object was changed. Understanding this conjugation is crucial for comprehending Hungarian sentence structure and the nuances of past actions performed by multiple subjects. The opposite of "változtatták" would be forms indicating a singular subject or a different tense.
