megnyitották

Megnyitották is a Hungarian verb form derived from megnyitni, meaning to open. It is the third-person plural past tense in the definite conjugation, used when the subject is plural and the object being opened is definite. The prefix meg- indicates completion or bringing something into an open state, while nyit means to open. Therefore megnyitották literally means “they opened [it],” and it is commonly used in reporting that a border, venue, exhibition, or service has been opened.

In usage, megnyitották appears in news, official announcements, and event coverage to indicate that access has been made available. It is an active-voice form; the doers are usually named or can be inferred from context (for example, a government, corporation, or organizers). Examples include megnyitották a határt (they opened the border) or megnyitották az új kiállítást (they opened the new exhibition). The form contrasts with megnyitotta (singular) and is related to megnyitás, the noun form for the act of opening, as well as nyitás, a general term for opening.
