bekérte

Bekérte is a Hungarian verb form derived from bekérni, meaning to request or obtain something by asking from someone, often in official or administrative contexts. The form bekérte corresponds to the third-person singular past tense (ő bekérte) and is used to describe that someone requested documents, information, or other items from another party.

The word is built from the prefix be- added to kérni, the base verb meaning to ask. In bureaucratic language bekérni conveys a formal act of requesting rather than a casual question. Because of its formal nuance, bekérte commonly appears in reports, notices, and procedural descriptions, rather than everyday conversation where simple kér is more typical.

In usage, bekérte indicates that the requested item or information was sought, often as part of a process. Examples: A hivatal bekérte a szükséges iratokat. (The authority requested the necessary documents.) A vállalat bekérte az adatszolgáltatást. (The company requested the data submission.) These constructions emphasize the act of requesting within an established procedure.

Related forms include bekérni (the infinitive), bekérés (the act of requesting), and kér (to ask). Bekérte thus fits into a family of verbs that express asking for something with a sense of formal requisition or fulfillment within a process.
