megtámadta

Megtámadta is a Hungarian verb form meaning “attacked” or “has attacked.” It is the third-person singular past tense form of the verb megtámad, which means to attack or assault. The prefix meg- signals the completion of the action and contributes to the perfective aspect, indicating that the attack occurred in the past and is viewed as a completed event. Like other Hungarian verbs, megtámad inflects for person and number, and the past tense form returned here specifically marks the subject as he, she, or it.

In usage, megtámadta is commonly employed in narrative, news reporting, and formal writing to describe an act of aggression by a definite subject toward a definite object. For example, in a sentence such as “A gyanúsított megtámadta az áldozatot,” the subject’s action is presented as a completed event affecting a definite object (the victim). The structure illustrates how Hungarian encodes tense, aspect, and definiteness within a single verb form.

Etymologically, megtámad is built from támad (to attack) with the prefix meg-, a productive Hungarian marker that often conveys completion or totality of an action. The combination yields a verb meaning to attack in a completed sense, with megtámadta serving as the corresponding past tense form for a third-person subject.

Related forms include the present tense megtámad (to attack) and other conjugations of the same verb, used to express different persons and tenses.
