Beindulnak

Beindulnak is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they start up” or “they begin to operate.” It is the third-person plural present indicative of beindulni, an intransitive verb that describes the initiation of movement, activation, or functioning. The prefix be- signals commencement or activation, while indul means to move or set off. Thus beindulni expresses that something begins to operate or to come to life, whether it is a machine, a process, or a situation.

Usage in Hungarian covers literal and figurative meanings. Beindulnak is used for engines, motors, or devices that start working, as well as for planned activities or events that begin to take shape. Examples include: “A motorok beindulnak, ha bekapcsoljuk a gyújtást” (The engines start up when we switch on the ignition), and “A projektek beindulnak” or “Beindul a projekt” (The projects begin). Metaphorically, beindulnak can describe things like conversations, plans, or markets starting to move, as in “Beindulnak a beszélgetések.”

Grammatical notes: Beindulnak is the present tense form for third-person plural. The corresponding past tense is beindultak (they started), and the future form commonly appears as beindulnak majd or beindulnak tovább a későbbiekben, depending on context. The verb is widely used in everyday Hungarian to indicate the activation or initiation of a wide range of entities, from machinery to social processes.
