megnyomtatta

Megnyomtatta is a Hungarian finite verb form of the causative verb megnyomtatni, meaning to cause something to be printed or to have something printed by someone else. The prefix meg- conveys a sense of completion or obtaining a resultant state, while nyomtat means to print. The form megnyomtatta signals a past tense in which the subject arranged for printing (usually through a printer, publisher, or printing house) and the printing was carried out.

It is common in contexts such as publishing, advertising, or office administration, where a company or individual orders printed materials. The construction emphasizes that the subject did not print the item themselves but caused it to be printed.

- A cég megnyomtatta a névjegykártyáit. (The company had its business cards printed.)
