feltárták

Feltárták is a Hungarian past-tense verb form, the third person plural indicative of the verb feltár, meaning "to uncover," "to reveal," "to explore," or "to excavate." It is commonly translated as "they uncovered" or "they revealed."

Grammatically, feltárták indicates a completed action performed by a plural subject (ők feltárták — "they uncovered"). It appears in narratives, reports, and descriptions where past discovery or exposure is emphasized. The verbal root feltár combines the prefix fel- ("up," "open") with tár ("to lay open" or "to place"), giving a sense of opening up or making visible.

The term is used across contexts: in archaeology and construction it refers to excavating a site; in journalism and research it denotes exposing information or findings; in geology and business it can mean exploring resources or opportunities. Example: "A régészek feltárták a kora középkori település maradványait." ("The archaeologists uncovered the remains of the early medieval settlement.")

Related forms include the infinitive feltár, the third person singular past feltárta, the participial feltárva (revealed/exposed), and the noun feltárás (exploration, revelation). Synonyms in Hungarian depending on context include felfedeztek ("they discovered") and feltárult ("was revealed" in passive or reflexive constructions).

Usage notes: feltárták typically conveys an intentional, investigatory act rather than accidental exposure. The nuance and appropriate translation depend on domain-specific conventions (e.g., technical excavation vs. investigative reporting).
