alakították

alakították is a Hungarian verb form that expresses a completed action of forming, shaping, or developing something by a group of subjects in the past. It is the third-person plural past tense of the verb alakít, which means to form, shape, or constitute. The form is used with a direct object to indicate what was formed or shaped, and it often appears in reporting or descriptive contexts.

Morphology and grammar: alakították combines the verb stem alakít with the past tense suffix -ták, marking third-person plural in the indicative mood. As a past tense form, it generally conveys that the shaping or forming action happened and was completed in the past. The same root yields related forms such as alakítom (I shape), alakítottam (I shaped), alakítják (they shape, present), and alakítanák (they would shape). The phrase alakították ki is common when meaning “they developed/established,” with ki adding the sense of bringing something into existence.

Usage and nuance: alakították is used for concrete and abstract objects alike, including physical forms, plans, policies, institutions, or strategies. It is distinct from related verbs that express different nuances: átalakítják/átalakították (transform or convert), kialakít (to develop or establish something gradually), and alakítás (formation or shaping as a process).
