lecserélték

Lecserélték is a Hungarian verb form that means “they replaced” or “they have replaced.” It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb lecserélni, which means to replace, substitute, or swap. The prefix le- signals a sense of completion or removal, while cserél derives from the root meaning exchange or swap.

The form is used in active voice when referring to a group performing the action of replacing something or someone. It can be applied to people (for example, replacing a leader or coach) as well as to objects or components (such as parts or equipment). In sentences, the object being replaced is often in the definite form, which is a common feature of Hungarian past definite conjugation.

Common usages include political, corporate, and sports contexts, as well as everyday situations. Examples:

- A vezetőket lecserélték a cégnél. (The leaders were replaced at the company.)

- A sportcsapat edzőjét lecserélték a vasárnapi mérkőzés előtt. (The team’s coach was replaced before Sunday’s match.)

- A régi alkatrészt lecserélték egy újra. (The old part was replaced with a new one.)

In a broader sense, lecserélni a cserére utaló cselekvést ír le, ahol egy elemet vagy személyt egy másikra cserélnek ki. English translations typically render lecserélték as “they replaced” or, depending on context, “it was replaced (by them).”
