nyitotta

Nyitotta is a polymorphed form of the Hungarian verb nyitni, meaning to open. It is the third-person singular past tense form used in sentences where the action is completed and the object is definite, and it functions as a finite verb. In practice, it appears most often with a specific direct object, for example: Ő nyitotta ki az ajtót. Here the subject opened the door.

In Hungarian, nyitni belongs to the class of verbs that form the past tense with the suffixes -ott/-ett/-ött and with additional inflection for definite objects. Nyitotta can be understood as the past definite form that marks a completed action affecting a defined object. If the object is indefinite or omitted, other past forms—such as nyitott—may be used, or the object may be introduced by a separate phrase, depending on emphasis and sentence structure.

Etymologically, nyitotta is built from the stem nyit- (to open) plus the past tense suffix -otta, with consonant harmony and assimilation leading to the double-t consonant spelling nyitotta. The form is common in narrative and formal writing where a specific object is being discussed.

Related forms include megnyitotta (opened or opened up, often in a broader or more formal sense) and kinyitotta (opened wide or opened a hole or gap). The root nyit is contrasted with similar verbs such as zárni (to close) and megnyitni (to open in a more general or broad sense).

Nyitotta is not a noun but a verb form. Its correct use depends on the subject, tense, and whether the direct object is definite.
