mellettünk

Mellettünk is a Hungarian word that translates to "beside us" or "next to us" in English. It is a common prepositional phrase used to indicate proximity or companionship. The word is formed by combining "mellett," meaning "beside" or "next to," and "ünk," which is the first-person plural possessive suffix, meaning "our." Therefore, "mellettünk" literally translates to "beside our" or "next to our."

This phrase can be used in various contexts. It can refer to physical proximity, such as when describing someone standing or sitting beside a group of people. For instance, "A barátunk állt mellettünk" translates to "Our friend stood beside us." It can also denote a more abstract sense of support or accompaniment, implying that someone or something is with us through an experience. An example of this usage would be "A remény volt velünk mellettünk" which means "Hope was with us, beside us." The phrase conveys a sense of shared presence and solidarity. Its grammatical structure makes it a versatile tool in Hungarian for expressing closeness, both physically and emotionally. The specific meaning is often clarified by the surrounding sentence context.
