eláradtak

eláradtak is a Hungarian verb. It is the past tense, plural form of the verb elárad, which means to flood or to be inundated. The verb itself is derived from the prefix "el-" which indicates completion or separation, and the root "árad," meaning to flow or to flood. Therefore, "eláradtak" literally translates to "they flooded" or "they were flooded."

This verb is commonly used in contexts describing natural disasters such as rivers overflowing their banks or heavy rainfall causing widespread flooding. For example, a sentence like "A falut eláradtak a folyó vizei" translates to "The waters of the river flooded the village." It can also be used metaphorically to describe being overwhelmed by something, such as a large quantity of work or emotions. In such a case, "eláradtak a feladatokkal" would mean "they were flooded with tasks."

The conjugation of Hungarian verbs is complex, and "eláradtak" represents a specific point in its past tense paradigm. It indicates that the action of flooding happened in the past and involved multiple subjects. Understanding this grammatical form is crucial for comprehending Hungarian sentences related to inundation or being overwhelmed.
