Vettünk

Vettünk is the first-person plural past tense form of the Hungarian verb venni, meaning to take or to buy. It denotes a completed action in the past and is used with an indefinite object, as in Vettünk egy könyvet (We bought a book). When the object is definite, the past definite form is used: Vettük a könyvet (We bought the book).

Grammatical notes: venni forms the past tense as minä vettem, te vettél, ő vett, mi vettünk, ti vettetek, ők vettek. The word vettünk specifically corresponds to the 1st person plural in the simple past and often appears with indefinite objects, while a definite object would typically be expressed with vettük (We bought it/them).

Usage: Vettünk is common in everyday speech to describe purchases or completed actions in the past. It is not the form used for present or recent past, which are expressed with other tenses in Hungarian.

Examples:

- Vettünk egy könyvet tegnap. (We bought a book yesterday.)

- Vettünk jegyet a koncertre. (We bought tickets to the concert.)

- Ha a könyvet a boltban vettük, akkor az az autóhoz tartozik, így Vettük a könyvet helyenként használható, de gyakran a definite object esetében használják a vettük formát: Vettük a könyvet.
