íródott

íródott is a Hungarian verb form, the past tense of the verb íródik. It denotes that something has come into being in written form, typically conveying a passive or middle-voice nuance. In contrast to active writing forms like megírta (he/she wrote it), íródott emphasizes the resulting state—that the text exists in writing—rather than the explicit act of authorship.

Etymology and forms

The base is ír-, from írni, meaning to write. The suffix -ódik is a middle- or passive-voice ending used to form verbs that describe undergoing or resulting states related to writing. The past tense form íródott marks a completed state: “it was written” or “it came to be written,” depending on context. Other persons and numbers follow standard Hungarian conjugation patterns for this class of verbs.

Usage

íródott appears primarily in formal, literary, or historical contexts. It is commonly used to describe texts, documents, or records that exist in written form, or to indicate that a writing process has produced a written result. It is not typically used to attribute authorship to a specific agent; for stating who wrote something, Hungarian would usually use megírta, írták, or similar active forms.

Notes

As a finite verb form, íródott agrees with the subject and fits within the broader syntactic patterns of Hungarian passive/middle-voice constructions. Its use is more specialized and less common in everyday speech, aligning with more formal or descriptive prose.
