Elindultatok

Elindultatok is a Hungarian verb form that corresponds to “you (plural) started off” or “you all set off.” It is derived from the verb indulni (to start or to depart) with the prefix el-, which conveys a sense of departuring or completing the act, and it takes the second-person plural past tense suffix.

Grammatical formation: The form is built from the stem indul- with the prefix el- and the personal ending that marks second-person plural past tense. It expresses a completed action in the past attributed to a group, typically describing that several people began to move or to commence an activity.

Usage and nuance: Elindultatok is used when referring to a group who has begun to move from a location or who have begun a coordinated action. It is common in narrative writing, reporting, travel descriptions, and dialogue. The prefix el- can add nuance of leaving a place or starting off on an undertaking.

Examples:

- Elindultatok a város felé. (You all set off toward the city.)

- Miután elindultatok, hamar odaérkeztetek. (After you all set off, you arrived there quickly.)
