mászott

Mászott is the past tense form of the Hungarian verb mászik, which means to climb or to crawl. It denotes a completed climbing or crawling action that occurred in the past and agrees with the subject in person and number. The term can describe literal movement on a surface as well as figurative movement in contexts where progress is described, though it is most often used for physical ascent.

In Hungarian, mászik is intransitive, but it forms compound verbs with directional prefixes to indicate direction, such as felmászott (climbed up) or lemászott (climbed down). The past tense form mászott is used in such constructions for third-person singular subjects, for example: A gyerek a fára mászott. Ő tegnap felmászott a tetőre. The verb also has present tense form mászik and a nominal form mászás, meaning the act of climbing. The adjective form mászó can describe a climber or something related to climbing.

Grammatically, mászott is the third-person singular past tense. The first person past is másztam, the second person past is másztál, and related forms exist for other persons. As a common Hungarian verb, mászik and its past tense mászott are widely used in everyday language to describe both physical activities and, in certain contexts, metaphorical progress.
