átjutottunk

Átjutottunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning "we got through" or "we passed through." It is the first-person plural past tense of the verb átjutni, which describes moving from one side to another or overcoming a barrier. The expression can be used in literal contexts, such as crossing a border, a checkpoint, or a physical obstacle, as well as in figurative contexts, such as overcoming a difficulty, obstacle, or a screening process.

Etymology and grammar: The verb átjutni is built from the prefix át-, meaning across or beyond, added to jutni, meaning to reach or to come. In the past tense, the form for plural subjects is átjutottunk. Other conjugations follow the same pattern: átjutottam, átjutottál, átjutott, átjutottunk, átjutottatok, átjutottak. The prefix alteration to átjut- integrates with standard Hungarian verb conjugation rules.

Usage: Átjutottunk commonly appears in news reports and narratives describing physical passage, such as "átjutottunk a határon" (we got through the border) or "átjutottunk a szűrőn" (we passed through the screening). It is also used when describing figurative progress, such as overcoming an obstacle or completing a difficult stage, for example “átjutottunk az akadályon” or “átjutottunk a nehéz időszakon.” The term is appropriate in formal, descriptive, and reportage styles, and is interchangeable with other forms of getting through or passing through, depending on context.
