visszaadtuk

Visszaadtuk is the first-person plural past tense form of the Hungarian verb visszaad, meaning to give back or to return. It translates to we returned or we handed back, and is used when the subject group completed the act of returning something to its owner or restoring something to its previous state.

The verb visszaad is built from the prefix vissza-, meaning back or again, and the root ad, meaning to give. In the past tense for “we,” the suffix -tuk is added to the stem, producing visszaadtuk. This form is transitive and normally requires a direct object in the accusative, and may be accompanied by a recipient in the dative (to whom something is returned). For example: A kölcsönzött könyvet visszaadtuk a könyvtárnak. (We returned the borrowed book to the library.)

In general usage, visszaadtuk appears in narrative or report contexts, describing completed acts of returning items, rights, or documents. It is not used as a standalone noun or name; it is a standard verb form. Related terms include visszaadás (the act of returning) and visszaadni (the infinitive, to return). The form can be contrasted with visszaadjuk (present tense: we return) and other persons or tenses formed similarly with the same verb stem.
