kötötték

Kötötték is the Hungarian verb form meaning “they tied” or “they bound,” derived from the verb kötni, which means to bind or to tie. It is the third-person plural past tense form used when the subject performing the action is plural and the binding is completed.

In standard Hungarian, kötötték appears in narrative and reporting to indicate that a tying action was carried out by multiple agents. The verb can refer to physical binding, such as tying ropes or binding objects, as well as to figurative binding, such as concluding or binding an agreement. For example, kötötték a kötelet would mean they tied the rope, while a sentence like A szerződést megkötötték can express that they entered into or bound themselves by a contract.

The infinitive of the verb is kötni; grammatically, kötötték is the past-tense, plural form used with a plural subject. Like other Hungarian verbal forms, it can be used across different contexts, from everyday physical binding to formal or legal bindings, depending on the object and context.

In usage, kötötték frequently appears when describing actions performed by more than one actor, or when reporting on past events where the binding action is central. Related forms include other conjugations of kötni, such as kötök (I bind) or kötöttem (I bound).
