Hazamegyek

Hazamegyek is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I am going home” or “I’ll go home.” It expresses the speaker’s intention or plan to return to their home from the current location.

Etymology and formation: hazamegyek is a compound built from haza, a directional particle meaning toward home, and megyek, the first-person singular present tense of menni, “to go.” In Hungarian, such directional particles can fuse with the verb to form a single word that conveys the movement toward a reference point, in this case home.

Usage and grammar: hazamegyek is used in the present indicative to indicate a near-future action or a routine intention. It can stand alone as a complete sentence or be part of a longer clause. The phrase can be modified with adverbs of time or context, for example, “Most hazamegyek” (I’m going home now) or “Hazamegyek munkából” (I’m going home from work). In questions, one might ask “Hova mész?” and answer “Hazamegyek.”

Differences and variants: another common construction is megyek haza, meaning “I’m going home” as well, with a slightly different emphasis on the act of going rather than the destination. Hazamegyek specifically highlights moving toward home as the goal. The two forms are often interchangeable in everyday speech, with stylistic preference guiding usage.
