elvitték

Elvitték is a Hungarian verb meaning "they took it away" or "it was taken away." It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb elvinni, which itself is a compound verb formed from the prefix el- (indicating away or off) and the verb vinni (to carry or take). The exact meaning can vary slightly depending on the context, often implying removal, confiscation, or transport.

For instance, in a legal context, "elvitték a lopott tárgyakat" would mean "they took away the stolen items." If someone is ill, "elvitték a kórházba" translates to "they took him/her to the hospital." The phrase can also refer to something being consumed or used up, such as "elvitték az összes süteményt" meaning "they ate/took all the cakes." The passive voice can also be implied, where the focus is on the object being removed rather than the agent doing the removing. The plural form "elvitték" specifically indicates that multiple people or entities were involved in the action of taking something away.
