fordították

Fordították is a Hungarian verb form that marks a past action carried out by a plural subject. It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb fordít, which most commonly means to translate, but can also mean to turn or flip in other contexts. In usage, fordították indicates that multiple people performed the action in the past, and it is a standard construction in both everyday speech and formal writing.

In Hungarian, the same verb can express different related senses depending on context. The primary sense is translation from one language to another, as in translating a document or a text. The verb can also refer to physically turning or flipping something when used with appropriate context or additional words. Because of this, fordították does not inherently specify the exact meaning without surrounding information (such as le for translation “to translate into” a language, or meg- for turning something over).

Common usage patterns include combining fordít with directional or object phrases to clarify the act. For example, a sentence like A dokumentumot angolra fordították means “They translated the document into English.” If the sense is turning rather than translating, additional context is typically provided to avoid ambiguity.

Overall, fordították appears frequently in reporting, literature, and instructional contexts as the standard past-tense form conveying that a translation or turning action was completed by a group. It is an essential component of Hungarian verb conjugation and understanding tense and number in narrative and descriptive prose.
