Beérkezni

Beérkezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to arrive at a destination or to reach a place after a journey. The form emphasizes the completion of travel and the moment when the traveler or object reaches the intended location. It is used in formal, logistical, and journalistic contexts, but can appear in everyday speech as well.

Etymology: Beérkezni is built from érkezni, meaning to arrive, with the prefix be-. In Hungarian, be- often signals entry into a place or the completion of an action. Together the prefix and stem convey arriving at a specific destination rather than a general arrival.

Usage and nuance: Beérkezni is intransitive and typically takes a destination expression, such as a place or target station, for example beérkezett a vonat a pályaudvarra or beérkezik a repülő a célállomásra. It is somewhat more formal than érkezik or megérkezik, and is common in official communications, logistics notices, and news reporting. It can also refer to the arrival of information or goods, as in beérkezett a levél vagy a csomag. The choice between érkezik, megérkezik, and beérkezni depends on context and emphasis on the journey itself, the endpoint, or the completion of travel.

Conjugation and forms: Beérkezni follows the regular patterns of Hungarian -ni verbs, with the prefix be- attached to the verb stem. Typical forms align with those of érkezni be- prefixed verbs: én beérkezem, te beérkezel/beérkezel, ő beérkezik, etc., and past forms use beérkezett.

Examples: A vonat beérkezett a pályaudvarra. A csomag beérkezett a raktárba. A küldemény beérkezését megerősítették. See also: érkezés, megérkezik.
