Közöttünk

Közöttünk is a Hungarian phrase meaning "among us" or "between us." It is formed from the preposition között (between, among) together with the first-person plural possessive suffix -ünk, yielding a construction that refers to things shared within the group that includes the speaker. Grammatically, it functions as an adverbial expression and is often used to indicate information or matters intended to be kept private within a particular circle. For example, "Közöttünk marad ez a titok" translates to "This secret stays among us."

In culture, közöttünk is frequently used as a title or motif in Hungarian music, film, and literature to evoke themes of secrecy, trust, and intimate relationships among a specific group. Because of its broad sense of privacy within a circle, it serves as a versatile expression for creative works, and there is not a single canonical reference associated with it; rather it appears as a recurring title or theme across different works and eras.

The phrase also appears in everyday speech and writing as a way to mark information meant to be kept confidential within a group. Its neutral connotation makes it suitable for both casual and formal contexts.
