gyógyultam

Gyógyultam is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I recovered” or “I have recovered.” It is the first-person singular past tense of the intransitive verb gyógyul, which denotes recovering from illness, injury, or surgery. The expression is commonly used in everyday speech and medical contexts to report that someone’s health has improved or returned to normal.

Morphology and usage notes: gyógyultam is formed from the stem gyógyul- with the past-tense personal ending -tam. The related forms include gyógyultál (you recovered), gyógyult (he/she recovered), gyógyultunk (we recovered), gyógyultatok (you plural recovered), and gyógyultak (they recovered). The form emphasizes a completed recovery and is often used with time indicators such as már (already), rég (a long time), vagy nemrég (recently).

Context and nuance: gyógyultam is typically used when the speaker reports a personal health improvement. It can imply that recovery is sufficient to resume normal activities, though specifics about remaining limitations may vary with context. For stronger emphasis on a full cure, speakers may choose meggyógyultam or felépültem, depending on nuance and regional usage.

Related terms and alternatives: gyógyulás (recovery), gyógyító (healer), gyógyítás (treatment or healing), felépülés (recovery to function), meggyógyult (fully cured). These terms connect to the broader vocabulary of health and healing in Hungarian and are often used in medical, personal, and media contexts.
