megpróbálták

Megpróbálták is a Hungarian verb form. It is the third-person plural past tense, definite conjugation of the verb "megpróbálni," which translates to "to try." Specifically, "megpróbálták" means "they tried" or "they have tried." The past tense in Hungarian is marked by the "-t" suffix attached to the verb stem, and the third-person plural definite conjugation adds the "-ák" or "-ek" ending, depending on vowel harmony. The definite conjugation is used when the verb has a direct object that is specific or already known. For example, in the sentence "Azt megpróbálták" (They tried that), "azt" (that) is the specific direct object, hence the definite conjugation. Conversely, if the sentence were "Sok mindent megpróbáltak" (They tried many things), the indefinite conjugation might be used if "many things" were not specific. Understanding this verb form requires knowledge of Hungarian verb conjugation rules, including tense, person, number, and definiteness.
