hangoltuk

Hangoltuk is a Hungarian verb form, not a standalone noun. It is the first-person plural past definite form of hangolni, meaning to tune or calibrate. The form indicates that the speaker and others completed the tuning action on a specific, definite object. In English, it is commonly translated as “we tuned” (we have tuned) depending on the context.

In use, hangoltuk appears in sentences where a direct object is specified and known to both speaker and listener. Examples include: Hangoltuk a gitárunkat. (We tuned our guitar.) Hangoltuk a hangszert a koncert előtt. (We tuned the instrument before the concert.) The verb can apply to musical instruments, audio equipment, clocks, engines, or systems that require adjustment to reach a desired state of harmony or accuracy. Metaphorically, it can also describe aligning or refining plans, schedules, or settings, though this usage is less common than its literal sense.

Phonology and orthography follow standard Hungarian rules. Hangoltuk is never a proper noun in normal usage, and capitalized forms such as Hangoltuk would typically only appear as a name if used as a title or placeholder, not as a standard word.
