elállította

Elállította is a Hungarian verb form, the third-person singular past definite tense of elállítani. The verb elállítani is a transitive verb built from the prefix el- and the base állít, with the general sense of causing something to stop, halt, block, or suspend. The prefix el- often adds a sense of completion or outward action, so elállítani can mean to bring a process or movement to a stop or to block something from continuing.

Usage and meaning

Elállította is used when the subject has caused a specific, identifiable thing to stop or be halted. It typically occurs with a definite direct object in the sentence, such as traffic, deliveries, or ongoing operations. The nuance is that the stopping is intentional and has a consequential effect on the object.

Examples

- A rendőrség elállította a forgalmat a hídon. (The police stopped the traffic on the bridge.)

- A vállalat elállította a kiszállítást. (The company suspended the delivery.)

- A hatóság elállította a programot. (The authorities halted the program.)

Form and related forms

Elállította is part of a broader paradigm built from állít with the prefix el-. Related forms include elállítja (present indicative, he/she/it stops), and the infinitive elállítani (to stop/bring to a stop). The exact meaning in any sentence depends on the object and context, but the core idea is the act of causing something to stop or be halted.
