ítottuk

"ítottuk" is the first-person plural past imperfect indicative form of the Hungarian verb "ítél," which translates to "to judge" or "to sentence." This grammatical form indicates that a group of people (we) were in the process of judging or sentencing something or someone in the past. The imperfect tense suggests a continuous or habitual action, or an action that was ongoing when another event occurred.

For example, in a sentence like "A múlt héten az ügyet ítéltük," it would translate to "Last week, we were judging the case" or "Last week, we judged the case" (implying the process was ongoing). The context of the sentence is crucial for determining the precise nuance. Hungarian verbs are highly inflected, and the "-tuk" ending specifically denotes the first-person plural subject and the definite direct object. Without a direct object specified in the sentence, the verb can imply an indefinite direct object, such as "we were judging" in a general sense. This verb form is common in Hungarian literature, historical accounts, and everyday conversation when discussing past actions involving a collective group.
