korlátoztam

Korlátoztam is a Hungarian verb form meaning I restricted or I limited. It is the first-person singular past tense of the verb korlátozni, which means to restrict or limit. The word is built from the verb korlátoz and the past tense suffix -tam, and it is closely related to the noun korlátozás, which denotes a restriction or limitation. The root korlát means barrier or limit.

In usage, korlátoztam describes a completed action in the past where someone imposed a restriction on something. It is commonly used in both everyday and formal contexts, such as policy decisions, access controls, or behavioral limits. For example, korlátoztam az adatokhoz való hozzáférést translates to I restricted access to the data, and korlátozta a dolgozók számát means the management restricted the number of employees. Negative form is nem korlátoztam, meaning I did not restrict.

Grammatical notes: korlátoztam is the indicative past tense form for 1st person singular. Other conjugations exist for different persons and tenses, such as korlátozom (present I restrict), korlátoztad (you restricted), korlátozták (they restricted), and forms for future tense using fog (korlátozni fogok). The verb can appear in both formal and informal registers, depending on context.
