megértünk

Megértünk is a Hungarian verbal form that can carry different meanings depending on the underlying verb and the context. In everyday language it is commonly associated with the verb megérteni, meaning to understand. In this reading megértünk conveys that a group has come to understand something or has realized a situation; in English, it is often rendered as “we understood” or “we have understood,” with the precise tense determined by surrounding context.

A second, figurative sense arises from the related verb érni, meaning to mature or come of age. With the prefix meg- indicating completion or attainment, megértünk can express that a group has matured or become ready for a new phase. This sense is typically used in discussions of development, readiness, or collective advancement.

Grammatically, megértünk is a compound verb form created by adding the prefix meg- to a base verb and inflecting for the first-person plural. Hungarian verbs encode tense and aspect largely through endings and context, so the exact time reference of megértünk must be inferred from the surrounding sentence. The form is a standard part of the language and is not a proper noun or a fixed title, though it may appear in literary or journalistic writing as part of a sentence.
