befejezdtek

Befejezdtek is a form of the Hungarian verb befejezni, meaning to finish or to complete. In standard Hungarian, befejezni forms the past tense with the stem befejezt- followed by person-specific endings. The correct third-person plural past tense forms are befejezték (they finished) and befejeztétek (you finished, plural).

The form befejezdtek is not part of standard orthography. It is typically considered a misspelling or typographical error that can arise when diacritical marks are omitted or when the -zt- consonant cluster is altered in informal writing. In formal writing, befejezték or befejeztétek should be used, depending on the subject.

Etymology and morphology: the verb befejezni consists of the prefix be- plus the root fej- (from fej-. meaning end or finish) and the suffix -ezni. The past tense suffixes vary by person and number, with the third-person plural forms ending in -zték or -ztetek, respectively. The orthography relies on the digraph -zt- to indicate the past tense stem, which is essential for correct pronunciation and meaning.

Usage notes: befejezdtek would generally be interpreted as a nonstandard spelling or a typographical error rather than a legitimate conjugated form. When reporting or writing about completed actions by multiple subjects, prefer befejezték (they finished) or befejeztétek (you finished).
