felírtam

Felírtam is a Hungarian verb form representing the first-person singular past tense of the separable-prefix verb felír, meaning to write down or to record something. The prefix fel- adds a sense of completion or transferring information onto a surface such as a notebook or a list. Thus felírtam literally conveys that the speaker wrote something down.

Morphology and formation: felír is built from the root ír (to write) with the prefix fel-. In past tense, the verb takes the suffix -t plus the personal ending -am for the first person singular, yielding felírtam. The prefix is typically attached to the verb stem and remains attached in written form, though in speech the emphasis can sometimes separate the prefix slightly.

Usage: felírtam is used to describe that the speaker wrote down information, notes, or reminders. It is common in contexts such as making lists, recording details in a diary, or noting down numbers, appointments, or instructions. The phrase is often followed by the content that was written down, or by a clause indicating what was written.

Examples:

- A találkozó időpontját felírtam a naptáramba. (I wrote the meeting time down in my calendar.)

- A receptet felírtam a listára. (I wrote down the recipe on the list.)

- A telefonszámokat felírtam a noteszba. (I wrote the phone numbers in the notebook.)

Etymology and related forms: felírtam derives from the verb felír, which itself comes from ír (to write) with the prefix fel-. Related forms include felír (present), felírja (he/she writes down), and the noun felírás (the act of writing down or note-taking).
