enthülltet

Enthülltet is a German verb form. It is the second-person plural simple past tense (Präteritum) of the verb enthüllen, meaning to reveal or uncover. The form translates as "you all revealed" in English and is primarily found in narrative or formal writing.

Formation and orthography: The stem is enthüll-, with the umlaut marked ü. The regular Präteritum ending for ihr is -tet, yielding enthülltet. Because the stem contains two l's, the written form retains ll. The form is primarily used in written language; in everyday speech speakers more often use the perfect tense (ihr habt enthüllt).

Usage and style: Enthülltet appears in older literature, historical chronicles, and stylistic or dialectal texts. It may occur in translations or pseudo-archaic dialogue to convey a sense of antiquity or formality. In contemporary standard German, it sounds dated or literary when used outside those contexts.

Examples: Ein Beispiel: "Ihr enthülltet das Geheimnis erst nach langen Verhandlungen." Another example: "Ihr enthülltet schließlich den wahren Hintergrund, währenddessen weitere Indizien erhärteten den Fall." See also: Präteritum, enthüllen, German verb conjugation.
