In each case beindulunk emphasizes collective action or shared momentum.

Variations and notes: Beindulunk is primarily used in informal spoken Hungarian to describe a group’s initiation of activity. In more formal writing, one might use terms like elindul, megindul, vagy elindítás depending on nuance. Related forms include beindulás (activation/start) and beinduló (adjective describing something that is starting).
