Körülöttük

Körülöttük is a Hungarian word that translates to "around them" or "about them" in English. It is a common adverbial phrase used to indicate proximity or focus concerning a group of people or things. The word itself is composed of two parts: "körül," meaning "around," and "öttük," which is the plural dative case of the pronoun "ők," meaning "they." Thus, when combined, it literally signifies "around them."

The phrase "körülöttük" can be used in various contexts. For instance, it might describe the physical location of objects or people in relation to a group. An example could be "A gyerekek labdáztak a parkban, és sokan voltak körülöttük" which translates to "The children were playing with a ball in the park, and many people were around them."

Beyond physical location, "körülöttük" can also refer to abstract concepts or attention directed towards a group. For example, "A vita zajlott körülöttük" means "The debate was happening around them," implying that the discussion was concerning them or in their vicinity. It can also imply a general atmosphere or situation encompassing them. The precise meaning often depends on the surrounding sentence structure and context.
