hibáztam

Etymology and form: hibáztam derives from the noun hiba (fault, error) combined with a derivational suffix that yields a verb meaning to assign fault. The root hibáztatni covers the act of attributing responsibility for a fault to someone or something. The form hibáztam specifically marks the speaker as performing the action in the past.

Usage: Hibáztam is used when the speaker is describing a past act of blaming others or attributing fault. It commonly appears in narrative or reporting contexts in which responsibility for an outcome is being discussed. The verb forms a complete conjugation with its related members (hibáztatsz, hibáztat, hibáztatunk, hibáztatnak) that follow standard Hungarian conjugation patterns for -at/-tat verbs.
