elfelejtetted

Elfelejtetted is a Hungarian verb form meaning "you forgot." It is the second-person singular past tense (past definite form) of the verb elfelejteni, to forget. The form is used when the action is attributed directly to the listener and often accompanies a definite object.

In typical use, elfelejtetted appears in casual spoken Hungarian and in written narration to point to a past forgetfulness by the person addressed. It can be followed by a definite object, such as a thing that was forgotten, or used with a clause to recall what was forgotten. For example: Elfelejtetted a kulcsodat. (You forgot your key.) Elfelejtetted, hogy holnap vizsga van. (You forgot that there is a exam tomorrow.) It can also stand alone as a direct response: Elfelejtetted! (You forgot [it].)

Hungarian conjugation distinguishes person and number in past tense. Elfelejtetted is contrasted with other forms such as elfelejtettem (I forgot), elfelejtettél (you forgot, informal singular or regional variants), elfelejtette (he/she forgot), elfelejtettünk (we forgot), elfelejtettetek (you all forgot), and elfelejtették (they forgot). The prefix el- indicates completion or reversal, and felejtteni is the verb stem meaning to forget.

Etymology traces the term to el- (a prefix) and felejteni (to forget), forming a compound that expresses the act of forgetting by the subject in the past. The phrase is standard Hungarian and is widely understood across dialects.
