lefeküdtél

Lefeküdtél is a Hungarian word that translates to "you went to bed" or "you lay down" in English. It is the past tense, second-person singular form of the verb "lefeküdni," which means to lie down or to go to bed. This term is commonly used in everyday conversation in Hungary to describe the action of someone retiring for the night.

The verb "lefeküdni" itself is a compound verb formed from the prefix "le-" (down) and the verb "feküdni" (to lie). The "-tél" ending signifies the past tense and the second-person singular subject, meaning "you did." Therefore, "lefeküdtél" specifically indicates that a single person, addressed directly, performed the action of lying down or going to bed.

For example, one might say "Már lefeküdtél?" meaning "Have you gone to bed already?" or "Tehát lefeküdtél egy kicsit pihenni," which translates to "So you lay down for a little rest." The usage of "lefeküdtél" is straightforward and context-dependent, providing a direct and common way to refer to this familiar human activity in the Hungarian language. It is a fundamental part of the past tense conjugations in Hungarian grammar.
