elküldtem

Elküldtem is a Hungarian verb form that translates to “I sent it” in English. It is the first-person singular past tense of the verb elküld, which means to send or post something.

The word is formed from the prefix el- plus the root küld (to send). The suffix -tem marks the first-person singular past tense. In Hungarian, this form is typically used when the object being sent is definite, for example: Elküldtem a levelet (I sent the letter).

Usage of Elküldtem is common in both spoken and written Hungarian. It conveys a completed action and can refer to sending mail, emails, packages, or digital messages. It can stand alone as a complete sentence, or appear within a longer sentence: Elküldtem az e-mailt, de még nem válaszolt. While the phrase is specific to the speaker, other persons and tenses are constructed with corresponding forms such as elküldöm (I will send / I am sending) or elküldte (he/she/they sent).

Related terms include elküldés (the act of sending), küld (to send), and the broader prefix el- which often signals completion or outward movement in Hungarian verbs. Elküldtem serves as a straightforward example of how the language marks person, tense, and object definiteness in a single verb form.
