megnyomták

Megnyomták is the past tense form of the Hungarian verb megnyomni. It corresponds to "they pressed" or "they pushed" in English and is used when a group performed the action of pressing something, typically a button, switch, or key. The verb megnyomni is transitive and describes a deliberate physical action, but it can also appear in figurative contexts to indicate applying pressure or influence, though the literal sense is most common.

Megnyomni consists of the prefix meg- and the root nyom- (to press). The prefix meg- signals completion or reaching a result and is common in Hungarian to mark a completed action. The form megnyomták is the past tense, third-person plural, used when the subject is plural and the action is finished.

Usage and examples: In everyday language, megnyomták a gombot means "they pressed the button." Another example: "A 'Tovább' gomb megnyomásával a felhasználó folytatta a műveletet," which translates to "By pressing the 'Continue' button, the user continued the operation." The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object specifying what was pressed.

Related forms: megnyomja (present tense, third-person singular), megnyomtuk (we pressed), megnyomtátok (you pressed, informal plural). The noun megnyomás refers to the act or instance of pressing. The infinitive megnyomni covers the general action.
