kijavította

Kijavította is a Hungarian verb form meaning “he/she/it corrected” or “has corrected.” It is the past definite, third-person singular form of the verb kijavít, which means to correct, fix, or repair. The form is used when a definite object is involved and the subject performs the action in the past.

Etymology and construction: kijavít is built from the prefix ki- (often conveying completion or outward action) added to javít (to repair or improve). The suffix -otta marks the past definite third-person singular form. In Hungarian, this past tense form is commonly used in narrative and reporting to indicate that the subject completed the correction of a specific, identifiable thing.

Usage: kijavította appears in declarative sentences describing actions completed in the past. It typically requires a definite direct object in the accusative case, such as a specific error, bug, or misstatement. For example: “A mérnök kijavította a szoftver hibáját.” (“The engineer corrected the software bug.”) or “Kijavította a tévedését.” (“He corrected his mistake.”) The form can also appear with different subjects and in various registers, from technical writing to general narration.

Related forms: The infinitive is kijavítani. Other conjugations include kijavítom/kijavítod/kijavítja (present), kijavítottam/kijavítottad/kijavította (past indefinite or definite, depending on object), and kijavítják (they correct). The noun javítás (repair, correction) is often used alongside kijavít.

Note: The exact meaning can shift slightly with context, but the core sense remains “to correct or fix something in the past.”
