elköltöttünk

elköltöttünk is a Hungarian verb in the first-person plural past tense. It translates to "we spent" or "we have spent" in English. The root of the verb is "költeni," which means "to spend." The "-ött" suffix indicates the past tense, and the "-ünk" suffix signifies the first-person plural. Therefore, "elköltöttünk" refers to an action of spending that was completed by a group of people including the speaker in the past.

This verb can be used in various contexts, such as spending money, time, or energy. For example, "Sok pénzt elköltöttünk a nyaraláson" translates to "We spent a lot of money on the vacation." Similarly, "Mindent elköltöttünk az este" means "We spent everything last night," implying all available resources or time were used up. The prefix "el-" often adds a sense of completion or finality to the action. It suggests that the spending is finished and often implies that the resources are gone.
