javítottuk

Javítottuk is a finite verb form in Hungarian, representing the first-person plural past tense of the verb javítani, meaning “to repair” or “to fix.” It expresses a completed action carried out by the subject we and is commonly used when the target of the repair is definite or already known in the discourse.

Formation and grammar: The stem of the verb is javít-. To form the past definite first-person plural, Hungarian adds the suffix -tuk, yielding javítottuk. The combination often results in a doubled consonant in written form, as in a stem ending with -t- followed by the -uk/-uk suffix. This form is used with definite objects or in contexts where the action’s object is specified, for example a particular device or system.

Usage notes: Javítottuk appears in narratives, maintenance logs, and reporting contexts to denote that a repair was completed by “us.” With prefixes, it can convey nuances such as thoroughness or completion, e.g., megjavítottuk, meaning “we have repaired it,” with emphasis on finalizing the repair. The phrase can pair with time indications and modifiers to specify when the repair occurred.

Examples:

- Megjavítottuk a hibát. We fixed the fault.

- Megjavítottuk a számítógépet tegnap. We repaired the computer yesterday.

- A problémát megjavítottuk, és működik. We fixed the problem, and it works.
