Hazajöttünk

Hazajöttünk is a Hungarian phrase and a finite verb form meaning “we have come home” or “we returned home.” It is the first-person plural past tense of hazajön, a compound verb whose core meaning is to come to one’s home. The word can function as a complete predicate with the subject “mi” (we), and its sense centers on returning to a home location after a journey or absence.

Linguistic notes: In Hungarian, hazajön is formed from the root jön (to come) with the sense of returning to home. The past tense is expressed with the regular past form jött, combined with the definite first-person plural suffix -nk and the past definite marker that appears as -t in the written form, yielding hazajöttünk. The construction conveys a completed action with a definite subject, and it can appear in narrative or declarative statements, as well as in reported speech or captions.

Usage and cultural context: Hazajöttünk is primarily used in everyday Hungarian to report a recent return home. It can also appear as a title for songs, poems, or other works that emphasize a homecoming theme, though it is not known to designate a widely recognized, standalone work in a fixed canon. As a common verb form, it demonstrates typical Hungarian past tense conjugation for the first-person plural.
