elárasztottam

Elárasztottam is a Hungarian verb in the first-person singular, past tense, perfective aspect. It translates to "I flooded" or "I inundated" in English. The verb originates from the Hungarian word "ár" meaning flood, and the prefix "el-" which often indicates completion or a sweeping action.

The word "elárasztottam" is used to describe a situation where the speaker caused something to be flooded or overwhelmed. This could be a literal physical flooding, such as a river overflowing its banks and covering land, or a metaphorical inundation. For example, someone might say "elárasztottam a leveleimmel az asztalomat" (I flooded my desk with my letters), meaning their desk was covered in letters. Similarly, it can be used to express being overwhelmed by tasks or information, such as "elárasztottak a munkával" (they flooded me with work).

The perfective aspect of the verb indicates that the action of flooding is completed. The past tense signifies that the event occurred in the past. The first-person singular form "én" (I) clearly identifies the subject performing the action. Therefore, "elárasztottam" conveys a completed action of flooding or inundation performed by the speaker at some point in the past.
