keresztték

Keresztelték is a Hungarian term that translates to "they were baptized" or "he/she was baptized" in English. It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb "keresztel," which means "to baptize." In a religious context, this refers to the sacrament of baptism, a rite of admission to the Christian Church. The term can be used in a singular or plural sense, depending on the number of individuals being baptized. For example, if a group of children were baptized, one might say "A gyerekeket megkeresztelték" (The children were baptized). If a single individual was baptized, the singular past tense form would be used. Beyond the purely religious, the term can also be used metaphorically to describe a significant or transformative initiation into something new, although this usage is less common. The act of keresztelték is a fundamental practice in various Christian denominations, signifying spiritual cleansing and entry into the community of believers.
