gondolatot

Gondolatot is the singular definite direct object form of the Hungarian noun gondolat, which means thought or idea. In Hungarian grammar, when a direct object is definite, it commonly takes the suffix -t (with the appropriate vowel harmony, yielding gondolatot for gondolat). Thus gondolatot signals that a specific thought is being referred to.

Etymology and form: gondolat derives from the verb gondolni, “to think,” with a derivational suffix that turns it into a noun. The -ot ending marks the definite direct object in the sentence, and gondolatot is the masculine inanimate form used with a definite article or context that makes the object definite (for example, A gondolatot elmondta / Elfelejtettem a gondolatot).

Usage: Gondolatot is used when a speaker wants to emphasize a particular thought. Examples include: A gondolatot megosztotta a barátaival. (He shared the thought with his friends.) Elfelejtettem a gondolatot. (I forgot the thought.) Leírtam a gondolatot. (I wrote down the thought.) In everyday language, the uninflected form gondolat is more common when the object is indefinite or when the sentence does not require a definite object marker.

See also: gondolat, gondolni. The term gondolatot functions as a grammatical variant rather than a separate lexical entry, reflecting Hungarian’s system of definite direct objects.
