Beteljesül

Beteljesül is a Hungarian intransitive verb meaning “to be fulfilled” or “to come true,” typically describing the realization of a plan, wish, dream, or expectation. It conveys the moment when something hoped for becomes a reality. Common subjects include ambitions, hopes, plans, promises, or prophecies, and the predicate indicates that the outcome has arrived.

Etymology and form: The verb is built from the root teljesül with the prefix be-, which can convey emphasis on completion or attainment. The base teljesül is related to teljes meaning “complete.” The past participle is beteljesült, the present participle beteljesülő. Nouns such as beteljesítés or beteljesülés denote “fulfillment” or “realization.” Beteljesül is generally used intransitively; examples include “A terv beteljesül” or “A vágy beteljesült,” with the subject treated as the thing that comes into being.

Usage and nuance: Beteljesül often emphasizes the satisfaction or completion of an aspirational or inner state rather than a purely physical manifestation. It is common in literary or formal language but can appear in everyday speech as well. It frequently collocates with time expressions that mark eventual achievement, such as “végre” or “hosszú várakozás után.”

Examples: “A remény beteljesült.” (The hope has been fulfilled.) “A terve végre beteljesült.” (The plan has finally come true.)

Related terms include beteljesítés (fulfillment/act of fulfilling) and beteljesülés (fulfillment, realization), as well as megvalósulás (realization, coming into being).
