megtanított

Megtántított is a Hungarian term formed as the past participle of the verb megtanít, meaning “taught” or “instructed.” It is used both as a participle describing a person or skill that has been taught and as part of verbal constructions indicating a completed action of teaching. The prefix meg- signals the completion or realization of the action, while tanít means “to teach.”

Etymology and grammar: The word combines meg- with tanít, the latter stemming from the verb tanít, “to teach.” As a past participle, megtanított can function as an attributive modifier (a taught person or a taught skill) or appear in predicative constructions in combination with auxiliary forms to indicate completed teaching. Hungarian participles generally agree with the noun they modify in number, and they inherit the definite or indefinite characteristics of the noun’s case.

Usage: The primary sense is that someone has been taught or instructed. Examples: “A tanár megtanított minket a helyesírásra.” (The teacher taught us spelling.) “A megtanított diákok készen állnak a vizsgára.” (The taught students are ready for the exam.) The word is closely related to, but distinct from, megtanulni (“to learn”) and megtanítani (“to teach someone else”). The passive-oriented form megtanított emphasizes the imparting of knowledge by another party, whereas megtanulni centers on the learner’s acquisition.

See also: megtanít, megtanít, megtanítani, megtanulni, tanítani, tanulni.

Note: The article uses megtanított primarily in descriptive, encyclopedic contexts and avoids idiomatic or highly specialized usages that may vary by register.
