teremtettek

Teremtettek is the third-person plural past tense form of the Hungarian verb teremt, meaning to create or to produce. In English, it corresponds to “they created.” The form is used when the subject is plural and the action occurred in the past.

Morphology and formation: The past plural form teremtettek is created from the stem teremt- with the suffix -ettek, yielding teremtettek. The suffix -ettek itself contains a double t, so when it attaches to the stem ending in -t, the result is teremtettek. The subject is typically explicit or implied as ők (they).

Usage: Teremtettek appears in narrative, descriptive, and formal writing to report actions carried out by multiple agents. It can describe achievements by groups such as researchers, artists, or organizations. Examples include: A kutatók teremtettek új elméletet. (The researchers created a new theory.) A művészek teremtettek lenyűgöző alkotásokat. (The artists created impressive artworks.)

Related forms and notes: The related verb teremt is the base meaning “to create.” Other related forms include teremtés (creation), teremtő (creator), and teremtettünk (we created). Teremtettek specifically denotes past actions by a plural subject; its 2nd person plural past form is teremtettetek, which means “you all created.” As with many Hungarian past-tense forms, teremtettek appears mainly in completed-action contexts and is common in both written and spoken Hungarian when describing collective activity.
