helyettesítettem

helyettesítettem is the first-person singular past tense form of the Hungarian verb "helyettesíteni," which translates to "to substitute," "to replace," or "to deputize." Therefore, "helyettesítettem" literally means "I substituted," "I replaced," or "I deputized." This verb is used in various contexts, indicating that the speaker has taken the place of someone or something else.

For example, in an educational setting, a teacher might say "helyettesítettem az osztályt" if they covered for another teacher. In a professional environment, an employee could use it to state that they performed the duties of a colleague who was absent, such as "helyettesítettem a vezetőmet" (I deputized for my manager). The term can also apply to replacing objects or materials, though this usage might be less common than referring to people. The context in which "helyettesítettem" is used is crucial for understanding its precise meaning. It denotes a completed action in the past where the speaker assumed a temporary or permanent role or function previously held by another.
