Felkelünk

Felkelünk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we get up” or “we wake up.” It is the first person plural present indicative of the verb felkelni, which means to rise, to wake up, or to stand up. The prefix fel- conveys upward movement or completion, attached to the root kel.

In everyday language, felkelünk describes waking up in the morning or leaving the bed, as in Mi reggel hétkor felkelünk. It can also be used metaphorically to describe collective action or a rise against something, for example a group or population rising up; the related noun felkelés means uprising and felkelni can carry that sense in suitable contexts.

Conjugation note: Felkelni is an intransitive verb. Present tense forms include felkelek, felkelsz, felkel, felkelünk, felkeltek, felkelnek. The past tense forms include felkeltünk (we rose), felkeltetek (you all rose), felkeltek (they rose), with the prefix integrated into the verb stem.

Related terms include felkelés (uprising, rising) and felkelő (riser, insurgent, rising). In calendrical or natural contexts, felkel a nap means “the sun rises.” The expression remains common in both literal daily use and figurative discourse about collective action.
