visszatérnek

Visszatérnek is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb visszatér, meaning "they return" or "they come back." It combines the prefix vissza- ("back" or "again") with the verb tér ("to turn" or "to return"), and is used for actions in which multiple subjects come or revert to a previous place, state, or topic.

Grammatical usage

Visszatérnek is intransitive and typically requires no direct object. Like other Hungarian present-tense forms, it can describe present actions, habitual events, or, with temporal adverbs, future events (e.g., Holnap visszatérnek — "They will return tomorrow"). It appears in narrative, colloquial, and formal contexts, and can apply to physical return (people, animals, objects) as well as abstract recurrence (themes, trends, problems).

Related forms and synonyms

Close equivalents include visszajönnek ("they come back") for physical return and visszatér ("he/she/it returns") for other persons. The prefix vissza- is productive in Hungarian, forming verbs that express a return or reversal.

Examples

- Holnap a vendégek visszatérnek. ("The guests will return tomorrow.")

- A hibák időről időre visszatérnek. ("The errors recur from time to time.")

Pronunciation is commonly approximated in English transliteration as "vissza-tair-nek."
