Feljutsz

Feljutsz is the second‑person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb feljut, which means “to go up,” “to climb,” or “to rise.” The verb is derived from the verb jut (to go) with the prefix fel‑, marking upward motion. In everyday speech, feljutsz can be used literally, as in “Feljutsz a hegycsúcsra?” (Will you climb to the summit?) or figuratively, to indicate an increase in rank, mood, or intensity, as in “Feljutsz a szűkben, de még a sötétben is szűrődik?” (You climb up in the tight place, but you also shine in the darkness).

The morphological conjugation ends in –sz for the second‑person singular. Common related forms include feljutok (I go up), feljuthat (he/she can go up), and feljutnak (they go up). In compound verbs, feljutsz can combine with nouns and adjectives: feljutó (climber), feljutozás (climbing). The verb is typically paired with the preposition fel, and an object of direction, e.g., feljutsz a nyílásnál (you move up at the entrance).

In Hungarian idioms, feljutsz may appear in expressions that convey progress or improvement, such as feljutsz a színpadra (you come onto the stage). It also features occasionally in poetic prose, where the upward motion symbolizes aspiration or transcendence. The phrase remains a core lexical item in Hungarian, reflecting the language’s rich system of directional prefixes.
