megvásároltunk

Megvásároltunk is a conjugated form of the Hungarian verb vásárol, with the prefix meg- adding a sense of completion and perfective aspect. It is used in the indicative mood to express a completed purchase in the past, corresponding roughly to “we bought” or “we have purchased” in English, depending on context.

Formation and grammar: The base verb vásárol means “to buy.” The prefix meg- creates a perfective meaning, indicating that the action was completed. The suffix -tunk marks the first-person plural past tense, so megvásároltunk literally means “we bought/purchased.” The word is a single finite verb form, aligned with Hungarian vowel harmony and sentence structure.

Usage: Megvásároltunk is used when the speaker and at least one other person carried out a purchase in the past. It is not the present perfect in a strict grammatical sense, but in everyday Hungarian it can convey a completed action that is relevant to the present context. Objects can be definite or indefinite, and the sentence typically follows standard Hungarian word order with the object after the verb in simple statements.

Examples:

- Megvásároltunk egy új autót. (We bought a new car.)

- Megvásároltunk három jegyet a koncertre. (We bought three tickets for the concert.)
