melegítettük

Melegítettük is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we heated” or “we warmed (something).” It is the first-person plural past tense of the verb melegíteni, which means to heat or warm. The form is transitive and normally used with a direct object that indicates what was heated, such as soup, water, or food.

Morphology and variation: melegítettük is formed from the stem melegít- plus the past tense ending -ettük, reflecting the definite past form. The spelling includes a double t because the stem ends with t. There is also a past indefinite variant melegítettünk, which uses the ending -tünk instead of -ettük; both mean “we heated,” but the definite form melegítettük is used when the object is definite or when the action is presented as complete on a specific item.

Usage notes: melegítettük is commonly used in cooking or food preparation contexts, as well as when warming beverages or other contents. It can be paired with prefixes for nuance, such as felmelegíteni (“to reheat” or “to warm up” something that has cooled). The verb is typically used in neutral, descriptive statements or reports of past actions.

Examples:

- A levest melegítettük fel. (We heated up the soup.)

- A vizet melegítettük a konyhában. (We warmed the water in the kitchen.)

- Felmelegítettük az ebédet, mert hideg volt. (We reheated the lunch because it was cold.)
