kötöztek

kötöztek is a Hungarian verb meaning "they tied" or "they were tied." It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb kötöz. The root verb, köt, means "to tie." Therefore, kötöztek specifically refers to an action of tying performed by multiple subjects in the past.

The verb kötöztek can be used in a variety of contexts. For example, it might describe the act of tying something, such as tying a package or tying a knot. It can also be used in a more figurative sense, such as being tied to a certain place or obligation. The specific meaning often depends on the surrounding words and the overall context of the sentence.

Consider a sentence like "A tolvajokat a rendőrök kötözték meg" which translates to "The thieves were tied up by the police." Here, kötözték is used reflexively and emphasizes the state of being tied. In another instance, "A gyerekek a zsinórt kötözték a dobozhoz" means "The children tied the string to the box." This illustrates the direct object usage. The verb's conjugation reflects the number and person performing the action, making kötöztek uniquely indicative of a plural past-tense tying event.
