támogatta

támogatta is a Hungarian finite verb form. It is the third-person singular past definite (or perfect) form of the verb támogat, meaning "to support" or "to back." The past definite form indicates that the direct object, if any, is definite and known to both speaker and listener. The word is built from the stem támogat- with the past definite suffix -ta, yielding támogatta.

In usage, támogatta is used when describing that someone or something supported a specific, identifiable object or matter in the past. It often appears in reports, narratives, or formal writing to convey backing, funding, or endorsement. By contrast, the corresponding past indefinite form is támogott, used when the object is not specified or is indefinite (for example, a general past action without a definite object).

Examples:

- A kormány támogatta a projektet. (The government supported the project.)

- Ő támogatta az ötletet. (He/She supported the idea.)

Related forms include támogatom (I support), támogatsz (you support), támogat (to support, the infinitive), and támogatták (they supported, past definite plural). The past indefinite form of the third person is támogott, as in "támogatta" vs. "támogatott" usage depends on object definiteness and narrative contrast.

Etymology and relation: támogatta derives from the verb támogat and its standard past definite suffixation. The term is a normal part of Hungarian verb morphology and does not indicate a proper noun or specific title.
