visszamenni

Visszamenni is a Hungarian verb meaning to go back or to return to a place one has previously left. It is a prefixed verb formed from vissza "back, again" and menni "to go." The meaning emphasizes reaching a destination that is the speaker’s or subject’s earlier location, rather than simply traveling to any new place.

Usage: It is used when referring to returning to a specific place (for example, a home, a city, a workplace, or a region) after having left it. It is distinct from visszajönni, which means to come back to the speaker’s current location, and from elmenni, which means to go away from the current location. The choice of term reflects spatial perspective and the relative position of origin and destination.

Grammar: Visszamenni behaves like other Hungarian verbs with the prefix vissza; its forms follow standard conjugation patterns of menni. Present tense forms include visszamegyek (I go back) and visszamegy (he/she goes back); past forms include visszamentem (I went back) and visszamentünk (we went back). Example sentences: "Miután befejeztük a találkozót, visszamentünk az irodába." "Szeretnék visszamenni Pestre egy évre." "Visszamentem a városba, hogy felvegyem a leveleimet."
