Megmaradunk

Megmaradunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning "we will remain" or "we will stay." It is the first-person plural present tense of the verb megmaradni (to remain), formed from marad (to stay) with the prefix meg- and the present-tense suffix -unk. The infinitive is megmaradni, and megmaradunk denotes a collective, ongoing action in the present.

In public and cultural discourse, megmaradunk is used as a statement of resilience, persistence, or continuity. It can function as a motto, slogan, or refrain in political debates, social campaigns, and artistic contexts. Because it is a common expression, there is no single authoritative source or fixed usage; its meaning is shaped by context and tone, ranging from hopeful to defiant to solemn.

The phrase reflects broader features of Hungarian verb-prefix usage, where meg- often marks a nuanced or intensified action and marad conveys staying or remaining. As a result, megmaradunk carries nuances of endurance and commitment beyond a literal stay. See also Hungarian language, marad (verb), prefix meg-.
