kerültetek

Kerültetek is a Hungarian verb form used for the second person plural in the past tense of the verb kerül. It translates roughly as “you (all) ended up” or “you (all) were placed,” and it describes a completed situation in which the subjects found themselves in a certain state, place, or assignment. The sense can refer to relocation, inclusion in a group, being placed in a location, or ending up in a particular condition.

Grammatically, kerültetek is the past tense form that corresponds to ti (you, plural). It is typically used with a preposition or complement that specifies what the ending up entailed, such as a place, a role, or a state. The exact meaning depends on the surrounding words and context.

Common contexts include physical location, organizational assignment, or changes in status. Examples:

- A döntés után ti kerültetek a projektbe. (After the decision, you were placed on the project.)

- A cég átszervezése után ti kerültetek az új osztályba. (After the reorganization, you were relocated to the new department.)

- Bajba kerültetek, és segítséget kértetek. (You ended up in trouble and asked for help.)

Kerültetek can also appear in phrases describing negative outcomes, such as bajba kerültek or hasonló helyzetekbe kerültek. It is distinct from the present tense form kerültek, which would refer to a current or general situation, and from other persons’ forms by its specific pronoun and tense.
