elmennék

Elmennék is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I would go away” or “I would leave.” It is the first-person singular conditional form of elmenni, a prefixed verb built with el- that conveys outward movement or departure from a current location. The base verb is menni (to go), and el- adds the sense of leaving or going away.

In ordinary use, elmennék expresses a hypothetical or conditional action and is commonly found in conditional clauses or polite, tentative statements. Other persons’ forms follow the same pattern for elmenni in the conditional mood, such as elmennél (you would go away), elmenne (he/she would go away), elmennénk (we would go away), elmennétek (you would go away), and elmennének (they would go away).

Examples illustrate its meaning. Elmennék most, ha lenne időm translates to “I would go away now if I had time.” Elmennék a városba, de nem hozott elég pénzt a jegy means “I would go to the city, but I don’t have enough money for the ticket.” The prefix el- can be used with elmenni to indicate departure from the current location to a destination, as in Elmennék Pécsre for “I would go to Pécs.”

Notes: elmennék is a standard, neutral way to express conditional departure in Hungarian. It contrasts with simple present forms like mennék or mennél, which describe more general or definite future actions without the explicit sense of leaving from the speaker’s current location.
