halasztotta

Halasztotta is a Hungarian verb form meaning "postponed." It is derived from halasztani, to postpone or defer. The form is used in narrative and reported speech to indicate that someone postponed a specific event, deadline, or action. In standard Hungarian orthography, halasztotta is written as a single word and encodes past tense.

Grammatically, halasztotta corresponds to the third-person singular past tense. The verb root halaszt- combines with a past tense ending, and, when used with a definite object, it expresses that the named item was postponed. The prefix el- can create elhalasztotta, meaning a stronger or explicit postponement.

Examples include: "A határidőt halasztotta." "A találkozót halasztotta." "Ő halasztotta a döntést." In contemporary usage, halasztotta appears in news reports, legal documents, and everyday language to report that an action was delayed.
