Hozzájutottak

Hozzájutottak is a Hungarian verbal phrase that literally means “they have arrived” or “they reached.” It is formed from the prefix házájû? Actually the prefix hozzá meaning “to” or “toward,” combined with the verb jut (to come) and the past tense ending -ott (for third‑person plural). Thus, the word is a simple past tense conjugation used when reporting the arrival of a group of people or objects. The singular form is hozzájutott, while the negative would be hozzá nem jutottak.

In everyday speech, hozzájutottak is used in contexts such as news reports, travel logs, and casual conversation to announce the arrival of buses, aircraft, groups of travelers, or in figurative sense when an idea or influence reaches a person. It can be followed by a prepositional phrase indicating the destination: például “Hozzájutottak a hegyre” – “They arrived at the mountain.” The tense is past and the verb is typically modal in simple past, not continuous.

The expression appears in Hungarian literature and media as a straightforward descriptive verb. Several Hungarian television reports and travel documentaries use hozzájutottak in the headline of a segment that covers a destination being reached. Music groups have also used the lyric “hozzájutottak” to describe a meeting or an encounter in their songs. The phrase is a staple of Hungarian narrative style for marking the completion of a journey.
