elzárták

Elzárták is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they locked up," "they shut off," or "they closed off" in English. It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb elzár. The root verb, zár, means "to close" or "to lock." The prefix el- often indicates completion, removal, or separation. Therefore, elzárták suggests an action of decisively closing or securing something, usually with the implication of preventing access or passage.

The specific meaning of elzárták depends heavily on the context in which it is used. For example, it could refer to the physical act of locking a door or a gate, as in "Elzárták a kaput" (They locked the gate). It can also describe the shutting off of a utility, such as water or gas, for instance, "Elzárták a vizet" (They shut off the water). In a more figurative sense, it might imply preventing someone from reaching a place or a goal, or even isolating an individual or group. The plural "they" indicates that the action was performed by more than one person or entity.
