utánanéztek

utánanéztek is a Hungarian verb meaning "they looked into it" or "they investigated." It is the past tense plural form of the verb utánanéz, which itself is a compound verb formed from the prefix után- (meaning "after" or "behind") and the verb néz (meaning "to look" or "to see"). Therefore, the literal translation suggests a process of looking back or looking into something.

In common usage, utánanéztek implies a thorough examination or inquiry into a matter. It suggests that the subjects of the verb took the time and effort to gather information, ascertain facts, or understand a situation more deeply. This could range from a simple act of checking a fact or a detail to a more formal investigation. The context in which utánanéztek is used will determine the specific nuance of the action. For instance, one might say "a rendőrök utánanéztek a bejelentésnek" which translates to "the police looked into the report," indicating a formal investigation. Alternatively, "én utánanéztem az információnak" means "I looked into the information," suggesting a personal effort to verify something. The verb conveys a sense of diligence and a desire to gain clarity or confirmation.
