gazdagodott

Gazdagodott is a Hungarian verb form meaning "became rich" or "grew wealthy." It is the third-person singular past tense form of gazdagodni, a verb that denotes a change of state toward wealth. The form is commonly used in narrative or descriptive contexts to indicate that someone or something increased its wealth.

Etymology: Gazdagodott derives from the adjective gazdag (rich) with the derivational element -od- that forms intransitive change-of-state verbs, combined with the past tense suffix -ott. The infinitive is gazdagodni (to become rich). The corresponding plural past form is gazdagodtak.

Usage: The form is used with singular third-person subjects: ő gazdagodott. For plural subjects, the past tense form is gazdagodtak. It can appear in factual writing, reporting, or fiction to describe wealth growth due to business success, inheritance, or other circumstances. It maintains a neutral tone and does not itself imply causation beyond the stated change of state.

Examples:

- A vállalkozó gazdagodott a cég sikerével.

- A család gazdagodott az örökségtől és a befektetésektől.
