maradtál

Maradtál is a Hungarian word that functions as the second-person singular past tense form of the verb marad, meaning to stay or remain. In English, it corresponds to you stayed or you remained. It is used to describe a completed action in the past where the subject (the you) stayed in a place or remained in a state.

In terms of usage, maradtál is commonly employed in statements and questions about past events. It can describe physical staying, such as remaining at a location, or more abstract staying, such as continuing in a situation. It often appears with time or place expressions, for example: maradtál otthon (you stayed at home) or tegnap maradtál a munka után (yesterday you stayed after work).

Grammatically, maradtál is formed from the stem marad- and carries the second-person singular past definite ending. It is part of the regular Hungarian past-tense conjugation patterns for verbs of this class, and it agrees with the subject in person and number.

The related forms include maradtam (I stayed) and maradt (he/she/it stayed), all sharing the same verb stem. The base verb is marad, meaning to stay or remain, from which all derived forms are created.
