hazajöttem

Hazajöttem is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I came home” or “I have come home.” It is the first-person singular past tense of the verb hazajön, which itself means “to come home.” The form combines the prefix haza- (home) with the past-tense stem of jön (to come), resulting in hazajöttem when saying that the speaker has returned to their home.

Usage and sense

Hazajöttem is used to describe returning to one’s home after being away, such as after work, travel, or an outing. It is a straightforward, common way to report a completed action of coming home. The phrase can stand alone as a complete sentence, or be extended with place or time details, for example: Hazajöttem a munkából. (I came home from work.) Hazajöttem ma este. (I came home this evening.)

Morphology and variants

As a first-person past tense form, hazajöttem corresponds to other inflected forms of hazajön for different subjects, such as hazajöttél (you came home) or hazajöttek (they came home). The form hazajöttem is built from the home-prefix haza- and the past tense form jöttem of jön, with the sense that the action has been completed and the speaker is reporting the result.

Notes

Hazajöttem is primarily used in ordinary speech and writing to convey a personal arrival. It is not typically a title or name of a work, but rather a standard verb form in Hungarian verb conjugation.
