kommunikáltam

Kommunikáltam is the first-person singular past tense form of the Hungarian verb kommunikálni, meaning to communicate. It denotes that the speaker carried out the act of communicating at a point in the past. The form is built from the stem kommunikál- plus the past tense suffix -t- and the personal ending -am, resulting in kommun ikál-t-am. The verb belongs to the regular -álni conjugation, with other personal forms being kommunikaáltál? No. The correct forms are: kommunikáltam (I communicated), kommunikáltál (you communicated), kommunikált (he/she/it communicated), kommunikáltunk (we communicated), kommunikáltatok (you all communicated), kommunikáltak (they communicated).

Usage and nuance: kommunikáltam is used in statements about past communication, whether the object or recipient is definite or indefinite. It can describe conversations, messages, or any act of conveying information, ideas, or meaning to someone else. Common contexts include work, media, and everyday talk, for example: Tegnap kommunikáltam a csapattal a projekt állásáról (Yesterday I communicated with the team about the project status).

Etymology: kommunikálni is a loanword in Hungarian, derived from the broader European verb for “to communicate,” with the noun kommunikáció meaning communication; related terms and the stem reflect the shared root with languages such as English, German, and French.
