Odaérkeznek

Odaérkeznek is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they arrive there.” It is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb odaérkezni, which means “to arrive at a place.” The form combines the directional prefix oda- with the verb érkezik (to arrive).

Morphology and usage are typical of Hungarian prefixed verbs. The prefix oda- indicates movement toward a specified location, and the whole combination is written as a single word: odaérkeznek. This form is used with plural subjects in the present tense. It contrasts in number with singular forms such as odaérkezik (he/she/it arrives there) or the past tense odaérkezett (he/she/it has arrived) or odaérkeztek (they arrived, depending on tense).

Use and nuance: odaérkeznek is employed when describing a group arriving at a particular destination known to the speaker. It emphasizes reaching the destination rather than merely traveling toward it. In sentences, it typically appears with a time expression or destination phrase, e.g., to specify when or where the arrival occurs.

Examples:

- A vonatok odaérkeznek a főpályaudvarra. (The trains arrive at the main railway station.)

- A küldöttségek odaérkeznek reggel. (The delegations arrive in the morning.)

- A turisták odaérkeznek a szálláshelyükre. (The tourists arrive at their accommodation.)
