megkapt

Megkapt is a form of the Hungarian verb megkapni, meaning to receive or obtain. It represents a past-tense development derived from the prefix meg- added to the root kap (to get/receive). In usage, megkapt indicates that the action of receiving has been completed. It is typically used with a personal ending in the full conjugations, such as megkaptam, megkaptad, megkapta, megkaptuk, megkaptátok, megkapták, depending on the subject.

Etymology and aspect: The prefix meg- signals completion or achievement of the action. The base verb kap expresses receiving, taking, or acquiring. The combination megkap or megkapni forms a perfective verb whose past forms convey that the item or result was obtained. The bare stem megkapt is not usually used as the standalone finite form in standard Hungarian; it appears as part of complete past forms when combined with personal endings.

Grammatical notes and examples: The common past tense forms include megkaptam (I got), megkaptad (you got), megkapta (he/she got), megkaptuk (we got), megkaptátok (you all got), megkapták (they got). Examples: Megkaptam a levelet. (I received the letter.) Megkaptad az üzenetet? (Did you receive the message?) Megkapták a csomagot. (They got the package.)

See also: megkap, megkaphat, megkapni. The form megkapt is one component of a broader verbal paradigm used in Hungarian to indicate completed reception of an object or result.
