Elindultunk

Elindultunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we started” or “we have started,” derived from the infinitive elindulni, which means to set off, to begin moving, or to commence an undertaking. The suffix -tunk marks first-person plural in the past tense, producing a statement about a group’s completed or recent initiation of action.

In ordinary language, elindultunk can describe physical movement (for example, leaving a place for a journey) as well as the start of a project, campaign, or collective effort. The choice between a literal or figurative sense depends on context and aspect.

In culture and media, the phrase has been used as a title or thematic element in various Hungarian works. It has appeared as a label for songs, films, or written pieces, and may also serve as a succinct focal point in journalistic or artistic contexts. There is no single, globally prominent work with this exact title, so references to Elindultunk tend to be context-dependent and locally specific.

Linguistic notes: elindulni is the verb, with prefix el- indicating the commencement or departure from an initial state. The form elindultunk exemplifies Hungarian verb conjugation for first-person plural in the past tense, contrasting with other persons or tenses of elindulni.
