Hazaindulni

Hazaindulni is a Hungarian verb meaning to start heading home or to head home from a place. It is formed from the directional prefix haza- (toward home) and the verb indulni (to depart). The combination emphasizes the act of leaving a location with the intention to return home. The expression is used across tenses and moods like other Hungarian verbs, and it can appear in both spoken and written language.

The term is commonly used to describe the moment when someone decides to go home after work, a social event, or a visit. It highlights the departure itself rather than the destination alone, and it can carry a sense of closure or a transition from being away to returning home. In some contexts it can be replaced by hazafelé indulni (to head toward home) or hazamegy (to go home), depending on nuance and emphasis.

Usage notes: hazaindulni is an intransitive verb and follows the standard conjugation patterns of indulni, with the prefix haza- attached to the verb stem. In past narrative, forms such as hazaindultam (I headed home) are used; in present narrative, hazaindulok (I head home) can appear in suitable contexts.

Examples:

Miután végeztem a munkámmal, hazaindultam.

Este hazaindultunk a baráti összejövetelről.

Most hazaindulok.
