vándorolt

Vándorolt is a Hungarian verb form that corresponds to the third-person singular simple past tense of the verb vándorol, meaning to wander, roam, or migrate. In English it is typically rendered as "he wandered" or "she wandered," depending on the subject.

Formation and function: Vándorolt is the past tense conjugation used for a single, completed wandering action attributed to ő (he, she, or it). The root vándorol contributes the sense of moving about or roaming, while the suffixes align with Hungarian past-tense morphology. The form is standard for narrative past description.

Usage: The word appears in both spoken and written Hungarian, especially in narratives, historical accounts, travel literature, and descriptive prose. It can denote literal wandering—for example, migration or exploration—as well as figurative roaming, such as wandering thoughts or a journey of a group through a landscape. Because it is a finite verb form, it usually comes with an explicit or implicitly understood subject.

Examples:

- A csapat vándorolt az erdőn keresztül.

- Ő vándorolt egy évig a hegyekben.

Related terms: vándorol (the present-tense form), vándorlás (migration, wandering as a concept), and vándor (wanderer, nomad).
