Átszállt

Átszállt is a Hungarian verb form that means to transfer from one vehicle or mode of transport to another during a journey. It is the past tense, singular third person form of the verb átszáll, and it is commonly used in everyday travel contexts to describe a passenger changing vehicles, such as from bus to tram or from train to metro.

In usage, átszáll is typically a separable-prefix verb, and the destination vehicle or mode is expressed with a case ending (for example, buszról a villamosra). The structure often conveys a change of transportation rather than simply boarding a vehicle for the first time. Common collocations include másik járatra, másik járműre, or átszállás a közlekedésben. The related noun átszállás refers to the act or opportunity of transferring, and átszállási idő denotes the time needed to make a transfer.

Etymology: the prefix át- conveys “across” or “between,” and száll means “to transport” or “to ride.” The combination expresses moving across from one transport option to another. In Hungarian usage, the form átszállt can be followed by a vehicle name or a destination in the appropriate case (e.g., a metróra, a villamosra).

Examples:

- Az utas átszállt a buszról a villamosra.

- A diák a vasútállomáson átszállt a következő járatra.

- A turisták gyorsan átszálltak a kompra a folyó túlpartjára.
