jóváhagytad

jóváhagytad is a Hungarian verb form. It is the second person singular past definite form of the verb jóváhagy, meaning to approve or authorize. The form indicates that you approved something definite in the past, typically translated as “you approved it” or “you authorized it.” The base verb is jóváhagyni, and the past definite conjugation adds the -tad suffix for the second person singular (as opposed to jóváhagytál for the indefinite past or jóváhagyta for the third person).

Etymology and related forms: jóváhagy ends with a prefix meaning “made good/acceptable,” with the noun and related terms built from the same root. The noun jóváhagyás means “approval” or “authorization.” Other common forms include jóváhagyod (present you approve) and jóváhagyod-e (a question form in present).

Usage: The form is used in contexts involving formal or official decisions, such as contracts, proposals, budgets, or bureaucratic procedures, where the subject has granted formal approval to a defined object or proposal. It appears in reports, correspondence, and records where a specific person’s action of approving is being stated.

Example:

- A javaslatot jóváhagytad. (You approved the proposal.)

Related terms:

- jóváhagyó: approver

- jóváhagyott: approved (past participle)

In summary, jóváhagytad is a standard, grammatically specific way to express that you approved something in the past in Hungarian.
