mulasztottak

Mulasztottak is the Hungarian verb form meaning that a group of people failed to do something or omitted an expected action. It is the past tense form of the verb mulasztani, which denotes omission, neglect, or failure to perform a required or anticipated task. The form mulasztottak describes a completed act in the past with a plural subject.

In use, mulasztottak typically appears in contexts describing non-compliance, missed deadlines, or neglected duties within administrative, legal, or journalistic reporting. It can stand with a direct object referring to what was omitted, or be used with an infinitive to specify the intended action that was not performed (for example, mulasztották betartani a határidőt, they failed to observe the deadline).

Related terms in Hungarian include mulasztás (omission or neglect, the noun form), elmulasztani (to miss or omit, often used synonymously with a nuance of missing by non-attendance), and elmulasztás (the act of missing or neglecting). These words cover similar ideas of failing to act or fulfill an obligation, with subtle differences in formality and emphasis.

Notes on usage: mulasztottak is common in formal or reporting styles to describe collective failures or omissions. It should be distinguished from present-tense forms (mulasztanak) and other past forms (mulasztották) by its subject and tense, and from synonyms like elmulaszták, which may carry slight stylistic or regional preferences.
