Továbblép

Továbblép is a Hungarian verb meaning to move forward or to progress, often after a setback, and to advance to a new phase. It is used in everyday language as well as in business, sports, politics, and psychology to describe the act of making progress, changing course, or leaving a previous situation behind.

Etymology and forms: The word combines the adverb továbб meaning “further” or “onward” with the verb lép, “to step.” The infinitive is továbblépni, and related forms include továbblépés (the act of progressing or advancement) and továbblépő (something that is moving forward or a person who moves forward). In usage, the verb follows standard Hungarian conjugation patterns, and it can be used both transitively and intransitively to denote moving forward in various contexts.

Usage: Továbblép is common in motivational discourse, organizational change, and journalism, where it conveys progress after difficulties, a shift in strategy, or personal development. For example, a company might továbblép a digitális transzformáción, or an individual may strive to továbblép az életében after a setback. The term emphasizes forward movement rather than dwelling on the past.

See also: Related terms include lépés (step), előrelépés (advance or improvement), and fejlődés (development). While not a proper noun, Továbblép may appear as a branding or campaign motto in Hungarian contexts, used to signal forward motion or reform.
