megígértetek

Megígértetek is a Hungarian verb form. It is the past tense in the second person plural of the verb megígérni, meaning “to promise.” The prefix meg- marks the perfective aspect, indicating a completed action, while the stem ígér carries the core meaning “to promise.” The ending -etek signals second-person plural.

Usage in sentences centers on a promise made by a group of people in the past. It is a finite verb form that can serve as the main predicate or be part of a larger clause, often introducing what was promised with a subordinate clause using hogy (that).

In grammatical terms, megígértetek agrees with a second-person plural subject and denotes a completed act of promising. It contrasts with present or future tense forms and is commonly found in narrative or reported speech where multiple speakers are addressed or referred to collectively.

Etymology-wise, megígértetek is derived from the verb megígérni (to promise) with the perfective prefix meg- and the past-tense ending for second-person plural. The form illustrates how Hungarian marks aspect and agreement within a single finite verb.

Related considerations include its relationship to other forms of megígérni used for different grammatical persons and tenses. As with many Hungarian verbs, correct usage depends on the sentence’s subject and temporal context, but megígértetek specifically points to a past act of promising by a group.
