hozzáadtam

Hozzáadtam is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I added.” It is the first-person singular past tense (past definite) of the verb hozzáad, which means to add to or to append something to another thing. The infinitive is hozzádni? No, the correct infinitive is hozzádni or hozzádni? The standard form is hozzádni? Actually the common infinitive is hozzádni? To avoid confusion, say: the base form is hozzáadni, and hozzáadtam is the first-person past tense.

The verb is prefixed with a preverb hoz- ("to/onto") attached to a simple verb ad ("to give/add"). In usage, the prefix communicates addition to an existing item, quantity, or collection. The past tense form keeps the prefix: hozzáadtam. Related forms include hozzáadás (the act of adding) and hozzáadott (added, as an adjective or participle). The structure is typical for Hungarian prefixed verbs.

Hozzáad has broad applicability across contexts. It is common in cooking (adding ingredients), data work (adding entries or values), programming (adding features or lines of code), and everyday communication (adding items to a list). It often appears with a direct object or with a prepositional phrase such as “hozzáadni valamihez” (to add to something).
