megállította

Megállította is a Hungarian verb form meaning “stopped (it/him/her)” or “caused to stop.” It is the third-person singular past definite tense of megállítani, the transitive verb that means to stop or halt something in motion or an ongoing action. The form is typically used when the object being stopped is definite and known to the listener.

Morphology and usage notes: The word is built from the prefix meg-, the verb root állít, and the past definite suffix -otta. In Hungarian, this past definite construction expresses a completed action directed at a definite object. For a sentence where the object is unspecified or indefinite, other verb forms would be used.

Examples:

- A rendőr megállította a kocsit. (The police stopped the car.)

- A váratlan eső megállította a futókat. (The sudden rain stopped the runners.)

Related forms: Megállít (present tense, “stops” or “is stopping”), megállított (past indefinite form or other related past tenses depending on context), megállítani (infinitive, “to stop”). The meaning remains centered on causing something to halt or come to a stop.
