szedtük

Szedték is a Hungarian verb form: it is the third-person plural past tense of the verb szed. The base meaning of szed ranges from to pick, harvest, or collect (as with fruit, flowers, crops) to to pull out or remove something. Therefore, szedték conveys that a group performed the action in the past, and the exact sense depends on the object and context (for example harvesting fruit, removing items from a surface, or collecting information).

In terms of grammar, the infinitive is szedni. The past tense plural form szedték corresponds to the subject “they.” Other finite forms include én szedtem, te szedtél, ő szedte, mi szedtük, ti szedtétek, ők szedték. The present tense forms are szedi (singular) and szedik (plural). Prefixes and compound forms such as leszedni (to pick off or harvest from a surface) and összeszedni (to collect or gather) modify the core meaning of szed.

Usage notes: szedték is common in both spoken and written Hungarian and appears in narratives, reports, and descriptions of past events. The precise interpretation relies on the object and any prefixes; for example, leszedték a gyümölcsöt a fáról means they picked the fruit off the tree, while összeszedték az adatokat would mean they collected or extracted the data.
