megtörték

Megtörték is a Hungarian word that translates to "they broke it" or "it was broken" in English. It is a past tense passive verb, indicating that an object or a situation has been damaged, shattered, or ruined by an external force or action. The specific meaning can vary depending on the context in which it is used.

In a literal sense, "megtörték" might refer to the physical breaking of an object. For example, if a vase fell and shattered, one might say "a váza megtörték" (the vase was broken). It can also be used more figuratively to describe the destruction or failure of something non-physical. This could include a plan, a record, a spirit, or a heart. For instance, "a tervüket megtörték" would mean "their plan was broken" or "their plan was ruined."

The word's implication is often that the breaking was caused by someone or something else, rather than happening spontaneously. It carries a sense of finality or irreparable damage. The subject of "megtörték" is not explicitly stated, leaving it open to interpretation whether the breaking was intentional or accidental, and by whom. This passive construction is common in Hungarian when the agent of the action is unknown, unimportant, or implied.
