hozzájut

Hozzájut is a Hungarian verb meaning to come into possession of something, to obtain something, or to gain access to something. The term emphasizes the action of securing resources, information, opportunities, or permissions that were not readily available. It is used in a range of contexts, from business and administration to everyday speech, and typically appears with complements in the accusative or with prepositional phrases such as valamihez (to something) to indicate what is obtained or accessed.

Grammatical notes: hozzájut is a finite verb that is conjugated like other Hungarian verbs. The infinitive form is hozzájutni. It is a compound built from the prefix hozzá- and the verb jut (to come), and it expresses movement toward possession or access rather than simply receiving something. The word can appear in various tenses and moods, including past tense (hozzájutott) and conditional forms, depending on the subject and context.

Usage and nuances: hozzájut connotes the process of obtaining something that may require effort, opportunity, or favorable circumstances. It is often employed in formal, administrative, or economic discourse, such as reports on funding, licenses, data access, or market opportunities, but it also occurs in everyday language when describing gaining access to books, information, or services.

Examples:

A vállalat hozzájutott a szükséges tőkéhez.

A kutatók hozzájutottak az adatokhoz.

A diák hozzájutott a könyvekhez a könyvtárból.
