megfogalmazták

Megfogalmazták is a Hungarian verb form meaning they formulated or they phrased something. It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb megfogalmaz, which denotes the act of expressing in a clear, precise, or formal way. The prefix meg- marks completion or thoroughness, while fogalmaz means to shape or phrase a statement.

Usage and meaning: The form is typically used in formal, administrative, political, or journalistic contexts to indicate that a proposal, guideline, statement, or instruction has been prepared and stated. It often accompanies a direct object naming what was formulated, for example megfogalmazták a javaslatot or megfogalmazták a követelményeket. In everyday language, a corresponding singular form would be megfogalmazta.

Grammar notes: Megfogalmazták is a finite, perfective past tense form. It agrees with a plural subject (they) and can take definite or indefinite direct objects according to Hungarian conjugation rules. Related forms include megfogalmaz (infinitive), megfogalmazott (past participle), megfogalmazás (noun: formulation), and megfogalmazó (one who formulates, in some contexts).
