kicseréltem

Kicseréltem is a Hungarian verb form that translates to "I replaced" or "I swapped" in English. It is the first-person singular past tense of the verb kicserélni, which means to replace or substitute one thing with another. The prefix ki- gives a sense of removing the existing item and replacing it with something new, while cserél comes from csere, meaning exchange.

As a transitive verb, kicseréltem is used when the speaker has completed the action of replacing a specific item. It is typically followed by a definite direct object, indicating what was replaced. For example: "Kicseréltem a hibás lámpát" (I replaced the faulty lamp) or "Kicseréltem a régi akkumulátort" (I replaced the old battery). These constructions are common in contexts such as maintenance, repairs, and equipment swaps.

Grammatical notes: kicserélni is a regular Hungarian verb with the perfective aspect. The form kicseréltem signals the completed action in the first-person singular past tense. In related tenses or moods, other forms exist (for example, kicserélsz for you replace, or kicserélnéd for you would replace), but kicseréltem specifically denotes that the speaker has carried out the replacement.

In usage, kicseréltem appears across everyday language and technical contexts, from household repairs to professional maintenance logs, wherever an item is exchanged for another.
