Beférünk

Beférünk is a Hungarian verb form, the first-person plural present tense of beférni, meaning we fit into or we can squeeze into a space or situation. The form can refer to physical space—fitting through a doorway, into a seat, or a vehicle—as well as more figurative cases, such as fitting within a schedule, a group, or a capacity limit.

Etymology and forms: beférni is built from the prefix be- added to the root férni, which conveys the idea of fitting or being able to fit. Beférni denotes entering a space or becoming accommodated, and beférünk specifically indicates that the subject is “we.” The verb is typically used in present tense for immediate or near-future situations and can appear in questions or statements about capacity.

Usage notes: beférünk is common in everyday speech, particularly when discussing limits of space or access. It can pair with particles or auxiliary verbs to emphasize ability (for example, be tudunk férni …? “Can we fit …?”). It is often contrasted with phrases such as nem férünk el, which means “we cannot fit.”

Examples:

- Be férünk a liftbe? (Can we fit into the elevator?)

- Be tudunk férni a kocsiba? (Can we fit into the car?)

- Le szeretnénk ülni, de nem biztos, hogy beférünk az összes utas között. (We’d like to sit down, but it’s not certain that we’ll fit among all the passengers.)

Beférünk thus serves as a concise, versatile verb form used to describe fitting into physical spaces or manageable, figurative limits in Hungarian.
