megkötötték

Megkötötték is a Hungarian verb form derived from megkötni, meaning to bind, tie, or to conclude. It is the third-person plural past definite form of the verb, used to express a completed action performed by a subject on a definite object. The prefix meg- signals completion or realization, while köt means to bind or tie. The form megkötött is the past participle, and the ending -ék marks the past definite mood for a plural subject.

In its most common senses, megkötötték can refer to a physical binding, as in tying up a rope or securing something with a knot. It also functions in a legal or contractual sense, where megkötötték a szerződést means that the parties concluded or entered into a binding contract. The same verb family yields megkötött (past participle/adjective) and megkötés (binding, commitment, or act of binding), illustrating the versatility of the root köti in both tangible and abstract contexts.

Usage notes: megkötötték is typically used when the object is definite and identified within the discourse (for example, megkötötték a kötelet, vagy megkötötték a szerződést). As with other Hungarian past definite forms, the ending aligns with the subject and the definiteness of the object, and different person-number forms exist for other subjects (megkötöttem, megkötötted, megkötöttük, megkötöttétek, megkötötték).
