Bekerülni

Bekerülni is a Hungarian verb meaning to be included in or to gain entry into a place, group, or list. It is formed with the prefix be- attached to kerülni, indicating movement from outside to inside or transition into a status or position. The nuance of bekerülni is that inclusion or admission has taken place, often as a result of selection, qualification, or assignment, rather than a mere physical entering.

Common contexts for the term include education, sports, competitions, and administrative or organizational settings. In education it can describe admission to a school or program; in sports and competitions it can denote advancing to a final, joining a squad, or being listed among the top contenders. It is also used for items being included in budgets, registries, or other lists.

Examples:

- A csapat bekerült a döntőbe. (The team made it to the final.)

- A diák bekerült a középiskolába. (The student entered the high school.)

- A pályázat bekerült a költségvetésbe. (The project was included in the budget.)

- A válogatottba bekerült. (He/She was included in the national team.)

Grammatical notes: bekerülni is the infinitive form; common finite forms include bekerül (present) and bekerült (past). The expression is typically followed by a case suffix indicating the destination or group, such as a döntőbe, a közé, az egyetemre, vagy a költségvetésbe. In usage, bekerülni conveys inclusion or admission into a set or system, often implying a positive or noteworthy outcome. It is sometimes contrasted with bejutni, which stresses the act of gaining entry to a particular place or institution.
