különítették

Különítették is the past tense, third-person plural form of the Hungarian verb "különít," meaning "to isolate," "to separate," or "to distinguish." Therefore, "különítették" translates to "they isolated," "they separated," or "they distinguished." This verb form is used when referring to a past action performed by multiple individuals or entities.

In a scientific context, "különítették" might describe the process of researchers isolating a specific compound or organism from a larger sample. For example, "A tudósok a baktériumot a talajmintából különítették" translates to "The scientists isolated the bacterium from the soil sample." Similarly, in a medical setting, it could refer to the act of quarantining or isolating patients.

Beyond scientific applications, "különítették" can also describe the act of setting something apart or segregating it. If a group of people were physically separated from others, one might say, "A rendőrség a tömeg egy részét különítették" meaning "The police separated a part of the crowd." The context in which "különítették" is used will determine the precise nuance of its meaning, but the core idea remains one of separation or isolation.
