szerepeltek

Szerepeltek is a Hungarian verb form. It is the past tense, third-person plural of the verb szerepel, which means to appear or to perform a role in a film, theatre production, or other appearance. Therefore szerepeltek translates to “they appeared” or “they performed (a role)” depending on the context. The verb derives from the noun szerep (role) with the verb-forming suffix -el, and it covers both simply appearing in an event and acting in a production.

In usage, szerepeltek is common in film, theatre, and media contexts, but it can describe any group that took part in an appearance or performance. Example: A szereplők a filmben szerepeltek. (The actors appeared in the film.) The form is a finite past tense form; related forms include szerepel (present), szerepelt (singular past), szerepeltünk (we appeared), szerepeltetek (you all appeared), and szerepeltek (they appeared). Hungarian verbs can show definite vs indefinite conjugation in some contexts, but szerepeltek here is the standard past tense plural form.
