Elmaradunk

Elmaradunk is a Hungarian word that translates to "we will be absent" or "we won't make it" in English. It is commonly used to indicate that a person or group will not be able to attend a planned event, meeting, or gathering. The term conveys a sense of regret or apology for the absence.

The word is derived from the verb "elmarad," which means "to be missed," "to be absent," or "to be canceled." The "-unk" suffix signifies the first-person plural, indicating that the speaker is referring to themselves and at least one other person. Therefore, "elmaradunk" specifically means "we are absent" or "we will miss it."

In everyday conversation, "elmaradunk" is a polite and concise way to inform others of an unavoidable absence. For example, if someone receives an invitation to a party but knows they cannot attend, they might respond with "Sajnos, elmaradunk" which translates to "Unfortunately, we won't be able to make it." This phrase is a standard and socially accepted way to decline an invitation or inform of non-attendance. It is versatile and can be used in both formal and informal contexts.
