megkeresztelték

Megkeresztelték is a Hungarian word that translates to "they baptized" or "he/she was baptized" in English. It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb megkeresztelni, which means to baptize. Baptism is a Christian sacrament of admission and adoption into the church, the faith, and the body of Christ. The act is typically performed by immersion in water or by sprinkling water on the head.

In the context of the word megkeresztelték, it implies that a baptismal ceremony has taken place and that one or more individuals have undergone the ritual. This could refer to infant baptism, where parents bring their child to be baptized, or adult baptism, where an individual chooses to be baptized as a declaration of their faith. The specific denomination or Christian tradition may influence the exact form and meaning attributed to the sacrament.

The use of the passive voice in the English translation ("was baptized") highlights that the action is done to the subject, while the active voice ("they baptized") emphasizes the agents performing the baptism. The Hungarian word megkeresztelték, being a verb conjugation, can convey either of these nuances depending on the broader sentence structure and context in which it is used. It is a common term in religious discussions and everyday life in Hungary when referring to this significant religious rite of passage.
