kidolgoztak

Kidolgoztak is the third person plural past tense form of the Hungarian verb kidolgozni, meaning to develop, elaborate, or work out something. It indicates that a group of subjects completed the process of creating a detailed result, such as a plan, method, proposal, or system. The verb combines the prefix ki- (often giving a sense of completion or bringing something to a result) with dolgoz (to work) and the plural past tense suffix -tak.

Etymology and form: kidolgozni consists of ki- (out, through), dolgoz (to work), and the infinitive ending. The past tense plural form kidolgoztak corresponds to “they worked out” or “they developed.” Related forms include kidolgozok (I develop), kidolgozott (developed, past participle), and kidolgozta (he/she/it developed).

Usage: The form is used in reporting completed, often collaborative, efforts. For example: “A kutatók kidolgoztak egy új módszert” (The researchers developed a new method). Another example: “A csapat tagjai kidolgoztak egy javaslatot.” In Hungarian, the exact ending changes with subject and tense, but kidolgoztak clearly conveys plural past action.

Nuance: Kidolgoztak typically implies a thorough, structured, or formal result produced through discussion or teamwork. It is common in academic, governmental, and journalistic writing, as well as organizational reports, to describe finalized plans, protocols, or systems.
