bejelentettem

Bejelentettem is a Hungarian verb form that expresses a past action of informing or announcing something. It is the first-person singular past tense form of the verb bejelenteni, meaning to announce or to report.

Morphology and etymology: the form is created from the infinitive bejelenteni by adding the suffix -ettem, which marks the first-person singular past tense in Hungarian. The prefix be- indicates the action is completed or directed outward, while the stem jelent- is related to jelenteni, “to announce” or “to report.”

Usage: bejelentettem is used to state that the speaker has completed the act of announcing something in the past. It can be followed by a direct object or a subordinate clause indicating what was announced. Examples include:

- Bejelentettem a tervet. (I announced the plan.)

- Bejelentettem, hogy nem tudok részt venni. (I announced that I cannot participate.)

- Bejelentettem a változást a cégnek. (I informed the company of the change.)

In common usage, the phrase can appear in both informal and formal contexts, from everyday conversations to news reports, whenever the speaker is recounting a past announcement.
