rájöttek

Rájöttek is a Hungarian verb meaning "they realized" or "they found out." It is the third-person plural past tense of the verb "rájön," which itself is composed of the prefix "rá-" (meaning "onto" or "upon") and the verb "jön" (meaning "to come"). Therefore, a literal translation of "rájön" could be "to come onto something," implying a process of discovery or dawning comprehension.

The verb "rájöttek" is frequently used in everyday conversation and in written Hungarian to describe a moment of understanding or sudden insight. For example, someone might say "Rájöttek, hogy eltévedtek" which translates to "They realized that they were lost." The context in which "rájöttek" is used can vary widely, from simple observations to significant revelations.

The plural form indicates that more than one person experienced the realization. If a single person realized something, the verb would be "rájött." The past tense aspect signifies that the act of realization has already occurred. The nuances of "rájöttek" lie in its implication of a transition from a state of not knowing or not understanding to one of knowing or understanding. It often carries a sense of discovery, where information or a truth becomes apparent.
