eldöntöttök

Eldöntöttök is not a standard form in modern Hungarian. It appears to be a nonstandard inflection related to the verb eldönteni, which means to decide something in advance or to determine. In contemporary Hungarian, the prefixed verb eldönt is conjugated with regular endings, and the form eldöntöttök is not listed among the normative present or past tense forms. If it appears, it is usually considered a misspelling or a dialectal/archaic variant of a correct form such as eldöntötétek or eldöntitek.

Standard conjugation helps place eldönt prefix and root into the regular pattern of Hungarian verbs. The present tense forms are typically: eldöntöm, eldöntesz, eldönti, eldöntjük, eldöntitek, eldöntik. The past tense forms for the second person plural are typically: eldöntöttétek; for the first person plural: eldöntöttük; for the third person plural: eldöntötték. These forms illustrate how the prefix el- combines with the verb stem dönt to express a finalized decision.

In usage, the prefix el- adds a sense of completion or finalization to the action of deciding. The base verb dönt means to decide, to determine. An example in standard form would be: A bizottság eldöntötte az ügyet. meaning “The committee decided the matter.” In present tense: A bizottság eldönti az ügyet. The form eldöntöttök would not be considered correct in standard Hungarian and is generally treated as a nonstandard or erroneous variant.

Etymology and related forms: eldönt comes from el- plus dönt, with el- signaling completion or definitiveness. Related words include döntés (decision) and eldöntés (the act of deciding).
