értesítették

Értesítették is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they informed” or “they notified.” It is the past tense, third-person plural form of értesíteni (to inform, to notify). The expression appears in formal and official contexts when a group has provided information to others.

Etymology and form: értesíteni derives from értesítés (notification) with the verb-forming suffix -ít-; the past tense suffix -ték marks the third-person plural. Thus értesítették literally conveys that multiple subjects performed the act of informing in the past. The form is active voice and indicative mood.

Grammar: In this form, the subject is plural (they), the verb is past tense, and the action is directed at some recipients of the information, which typically appear as a direct object (e.g., a lakosságot, a dolgozókat) or an indirect object phrase (e.g., a változásokról, a veszélyről). Like other Hungarian past tense forms, értesítették can be used in various sentence types to report who informed whom about what.

Usage: It is common in news, official statements, legal notices, and administrative communications. The verb emphasizes the act of informing, rather than providing general information; it is often used when the fact of notification is the focus of the sentence.

Examples: A hatóságok értesítették a lakosságot a veszélyről. A vállalatok értesítették a dolgozókat a változásokról.
