hallatszottál

Hallatszottál is a Hungarian word that translates to "you were heard" or "you could be heard" in English. It is the past tense, passive voice, singular second-person form of the verb "hallatszani," which means to be audible or to be heard. The word conveys the idea that a sound or voice was perceptible, either to someone specific or to the general environment.

The passive nature of "hallatszottál" implies that the subject of the sentence (the person or thing being heard) did not actively cause themselves to be heard, but rather their presence or actions resulted in them being audible. For example, one might say "A lépéseid hallatszottál" which means "Your footsteps were heard," indicating that the sound of footsteps was noticeable.

This term is often used in contexts where the clarity or volume of a sound is being discussed. It can be used to describe a faint noise that became audible or a loud sound that was easily perceived. The implication is that the sound transcended a certain threshold of audibility. Understanding "hallatszottál" requires recognizing its grammatical structure as a past passive form, highlighting the experience of being heard rather than the act of hearing.
