bejelentette

Bejelentette is a conjugated form of the Hungarian verb bejelenteni, meaning “to announce” or “to declare.” It is the third-person singular past tense (ő bejelentette). The infinitive is bejelenteni, and the past tense forms are built from the stem bejelent- with personal endings, for example: bejelentettem (I announced), bejelentetted (you announced), bejelentette (he/she announced), bejelentettük (we announced), bejelentettétek (you announced), bejelentették (they announced). Bejelentette is therefore used to report a completed announcement by a single subject.

Usage of this form is common in news reporting, official statements, and everyday speech. It can take a direct object to specify what was announced, e.g., A miniszter bejelentette az új törvényt. “The minister announced the new law.” It may also introduce a reported clause with hogy (that): Bejelentette, hogy elutazik, meaning “He announced that he would travel.”

Etymology and morphology: the verb combines the prefix be- with jelent, meaning to declare or to report, plus the infinitive suffix -ni. The prefix conveys a sense of completion or outward action, as is typical in many Hungarian prefixed verbs. The form bejelentette is one of several past tense conjugations used to indicate a completed act of announcing by a specific subject.
