Kijött

Kijött is a Hungarian word that translates to "came out," "went out," or "emerged" in English. Its specific meaning depends heavily on the context in which it is used. It can refer to the physical act of leaving a place, such as a person coming out of a building or a car exiting a garage. It can also denote something appearing or becoming visible, like a star coming out at night or a product being released to the market.

In a figurative sense, "kijött" can signify the accomplishment or realization of something. For instance, a plan might have "kijött," meaning it has been executed or finalized. It can also be used to describe a person expressing themselves, such as their feelings or opinions coming out.

The word is a past tense conjugation of the verb "kijönni," which is a frequentative form of "jönni" (to come). The prefix "ki-" signifies an outward direction. Therefore, "kijött" literally implies a movement from an inside to an outside. This simple yet versatile verb plays a significant role in everyday Hungarian communication, allowing for a wide range of expressions related to movement, appearance, and completion.
