közöltek

Közöltek is a Hungarian verb form derived from közölni, meaning to inform, announce, or communicate. It is the past tense, third-person plural form, used to indicate that information has been released or a statement has been communicated by a source. In journalistic and formal contexts, it functions to attribute content to an entity such as a government body, agency, or organization.

As a verb form, közöltek appears in sentences where the subject is plural, signaling that multiple parties or a plural source issued information. It is one of several past tense forms of közölni and is commonly found in news reports, official statements, and press releases. The form helps convey that the information is part of a communication from a source, rather than an assertion by the author of the text.

Etymologically, közöltek is built from the verb közölni, with standard Hungarian morphology producing a past tense, third-person plural ending. The form is primarily a functional element of syntax, used to report what was publicly stated by others rather than to express the speaker’s own statement.
