kiáltottunk

Kiáltottunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we shouted” or “we yelled.” It is the first-person plural past tense form of the verb kiáltani, which means to shout. The form is created by adding the past tense suffix -ottunk to the stem kiált-, following standard Hungarian verb conjugation for verbs in the -ani group.

In Hungarian, kiáltottunk is used to describe a past action carried out by the speaker and at least one other person. The sentence can describe a one-time exclamation or a longer shout, depending on context. The word can appear in narrative passages, dialogues, or reports to indicate a collective action in the past.

Examples:

- Segítségért kiáltottunk. (We shouted for help.)

- A fiúk kiáltottak a hangos zaj miatt. (The boys shouted because of the loud noise.)

Related terms include kiáltani (to shout) and kiáltás (a shout, a cry). The form kiáltottunk is part of a broader set of past-tense conjugations in Hungarian, where the ending indicates person and number rather than mood alone. Pronunciation typically places the stress on the first syllable, as with many Hungarian verbs.
