kiválasztottuk

Kiválasztottuk is a Hungarian verb form meaning we selected or we have chosen. It is the first-person plural past tense form (indicative) of the verb kiválasztani, which means to select or to choose out of options. The form is built from the stem kiválaszt- plus the past tense suffix -ottuk, a combination that yields the double-t consonant spelling in standard orthography.

The base verb kiválasztani is a compound built from ki-, a prefix often conveying outwardness or completion, and válasz- (root related to choosing). The noun form kiválasztás means selection, and the related past participle kiválasztott means chosen or selected, used as an adjective or in compound tenses (e.g., a kiválasztott személyek, the chosen people).

Usage in Hungarian is straightforward: kiválasztottuk denotes a completed action performed by the subject we. It typically takes a direct object in the accusative to indicate what was chosen, for example: Kiválasztottuk a legjobb megoldást. The phrase can appear in formal or informal registers and is common in contexts such as elections, competitions, hiring, or any situation involving making a selection from a set of options. The word also appears in phrases describing the results of selection processes, for example, kiválasztottak vagy kiválasztott személyek, referring to the selected individuals.
