ajánlottál

Ajánlottál is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you recommended” or “you suggested.” It is the second-person singular past tense of the verb ajánlani, which means to recommend or to suggest. The form is used when speaking to one person in the past about a recommendation or suggestion you made.

Morphology and usage: Ajánlottál is formed from the infinitive ajánlani with the past tense suffix for the second person singular. It can stand alone to indicate a completed action in the past, as in Tegnap ajánlottál egy könyvet. When a direct object is present, the pronoun can attach to the verb, producing forms like ajánlottad (you recommended it/because you recommended it) or ajánlottad ezt a könyvet (you recommended this book). The form is primarily used in informal, conversational contexts; formal address may use different person markers in past-tense constructions, depending on the sentence.

Etymology and related forms: The verb ajánlani derives from the root ajánl-, linked to the noun ajánlat (offer, proposal) and the related noun ajánlás (recommendation). The past tense form ajánlott (he/she/it recommended) is the past participle basis, with the second-person singular ending -ál forming ajánlottál, while adding pronouns yields ajánlottad, ajánlottál, and similar variants.

Notes: Ajánlottál functions as a simple past tense verb form and is distinct from the past participle ajánlott used adjectivally (meaning “recommended”). Its precise pronunciation follows standard Hungarian phonology, including the consonant cluster in the stem and the doubled t in the past-tense ending.
