Megérkezem

Megérkezem is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I arrive” or “I am arriving.” It is the first-person singular present indicative of megérkezni, the prefixed, perfective form derived from érkezni, meaning to arrive. The prefix meg- commonly marks the completion or achievement of the action, as in reaching a destination.

In present tense usage, the standard forms are: én megérkezem, te megérkezel, ő megérkezik, mi megérkezünk, ti megérkeztek, ők megérkeznek. The past tense forms are megérkeztem, megérkeztél, megérkezett, megérkeztünk, megérkeztetek, megérkeztek. For future reference, Hungarian often uses the present tense with temporal adverbs for scheduled arrivals, or a future construction with fog + infinitive, e.g., Meg fog érkezni holnap. A common spoken pattern is to place time references before the verb, as in “Tíz perc múlva megérkezem,” meaning “I will arrive in ten minutes.”

The noun form megérkezés means “arrival” and is related to the verb. Megérkezem is categorized as a perfective verb form; its imperfective counterpart is generally expressed with the non-prefixed érkezik/érkezni in other contexts.

Usage context: megérkezem is typically used to state one’s own arrival or to announce that one has reached a destination. It appears in everyday conversation, travel updates, schedules, and written notices. See also related terms such as meg- prefix and érkezés for broader linguistic context.
