Bemegy

Bemegy is a Hungarian verb meaning to enter or to go inside. It is formed by attaching the directional prefix be- to the verb megy (to go). The prefix conveys movement from outside to inside, giving the sense of entering a space or place. The resulting verb behaves like a standard Hungarian prefixed verb and follows the normal subject-verb concord.

Usage and meaning: Bemegy describes a subject entering a space or entering into a situation. It is used with a destination expressed in the illative case, typically the suffix -ba or -be. Example: Bemegy a szobába. Other examples include bemegy a házba or bemegy az épületbe. The verb can also be used metaphorically to indicate entering a field or activity, though idiomatic usage varies by context.

Infinitive and related forms: The infinitive of bemegy is bemenni. The verb forms in different tenses follow the standard conjugation pattern of verbs built from megy with the prefix be-. Past tense in ordinary narration is usually bement, meaning “went in/entered.”

Etymology and related terms: The base verb is megy (to go). The prefix be- adds the sense of inside movement, common to a family of be- prefixed verbs in Hungarian, such as bemenni (to go inside) and similar directional verbs.
