végeztetek

végeztetek is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb végez‑, meaning “to finish” or “to complete.” The form belongs to the past tense (preterite) second‑person plural (you all) form, conjugated with the suffix –ttek. It is used when addressing a group of people, asking or stating that they have finished a task, activity, or process.

In everyday speech, végeztetek often appears in questions such as “Végéltek-e a feladatátok?” (“Did you finish your assignment?”) or statements like “Végül tettetek velem?” (“You finally all finished with me?”). The verb can be applied to both concrete actions (e.g., “véghez kértetek a székeket” – you all finished cleaning the chairs) and more abstract processes (e.g., “végül lezártátok a projektet” – you all completed the project).

Grammatically, the -ttek suffix indicates third‑person singular subject with a past‑tense marker. The base root végez‑, combined with the past participle marker –t and the plural marker –ek, yields végeztetek. In conversation, speakers often drop the interrogative particle –e when the context makes the question obvious, leading to a more declarative use.

Etymologically, végez comes from the Proto‑Uralic root *vök‑, meaning “to do” or “to perform.” Over centuries, the meaning converged with the concept of bringing something to an end, thus giving rise to the modern sense “to finish.” The shape of végeztetek reflects typical Hungarian agglutinative morphology, where subject, tense, and aspectality are encoded in suffixes attached to the stem.

In contemporary Hungarian, végeztetek is interchangeable with alternative forms such as “búcsúztatok” in metaphorical contexts, but the preferred usage remains the straightforward past‑tense construction. It is a useful verb for confirming completion of tasks within group settings or in formal and informal contexts alike.
