töltötték

Töltötték is a Hungarian verb form. It is the third-person plural past tense of tölteni, a verb that means to fill or to stuff. In English, töltötték translates as “they filled” or “they stuffed.” The form is used when the subject performing the action is plural and the action is set in the past.

Usage and nuances: The sense of töltötték depends on context. It can refer to filling a container, such as a bottle or a jar, or to stuffing food, such as peppers. The same grammatical form is used for both senses; the specific meaning is clarified by the object and the surrounding wording. In some constructions, a separable prefix can accompany tölteni (for example, töltötték fel … “they filled up …”).

Examples:

- A szakácsok töltötték meg a paprikákat. (The chefs stuffed the peppers.)

- A munkások töltötték fel a tartályokat. (The workers filled the tanks.)

Related forms: Töltött is also an adjective meaning stuffed, as in töltött paprika. The noun töltés refers to the act or result of filling. The infinitive tölteni is the basic lexical form from which töltötték is derived.
