megnyugtatott

Megnyugtatott is a Hungarian verb form meaning “calmed down” or “reassured (someone).” It is the past tense, third-person singular form of the transitive verb megnyugtatni, which means to calm or reassure someone. The action typically involves another person or group as the direct object, for example a anxious child or an audience.

Formation and nuance: The word is built from the stem nyugtat- with the prefix meg-, which adds aspectual or causative nuance, indicating that the action brought about a change of state. The past tense ending -ott attaches to the stem, yielding megnyugtatott. The base root nyugtat carries the core meaning of calming or soothing, and related forms include megnyugtat (present), megnyugtatja (he/she reassures), and megnyugtató (reassuring, soothing).

Usage: Megnyugtatott is commonly used in narrative or reporting to indicate that someone caused another person to become calmer or more reassured, often after tension or uncertainty. Examples include: “A szülő megnyugtatott egy ideges gyereket.” “A beszéd megnyugtatta a közönséget a válság után.”
