This is the 535th most frequent Hungarian word.
tűnt
The Hungarian word "tűnt" means "seemed" or "appeared" in English.
In this sentence, 'tűnt' is the past tense form of 'tűnik,' indicating something appeared or seemed in a specific way.
A ház nagyon csendesnek tűnt.
The house seemed very quiet.
Here, 'tűnt' is part of the word 'eltűnt,' which means 'disappeared,' describing that the cat went missing in the garden.
Eltűnt a macska a kertben.
The cat disappeared in the garden.
In this example, 'tűnt' is again the past tense form of 'tűnik,' used to express how something appeared in a more abstract sense.
