átutazik

Átutazik is a Hungarian verb meaning to travel through or to pass across a place, typically referring to moving through a geographic area during travel rather than staying there for an extended period. It is commonly used in travel writing, itineraries, and reports about transportation and transit routes.

The word is formed from the prefix át- and the verb utazik (to travel). The prefix denotes movement across something, and the phrase is usually combined with a place name in the appropriate form to indicate the area being traversed (for example az országon átutazik, Franciaországon átutazik). A construction with keresztül is also possible to emphasize passing through, as in Franciaországon keresztül utazik. The verb behaves like a regular Hungarian verb in conjugation, with át- attached to the root utazik.

Conjugation and usage notes: in present tense, the form is átutazik (he/she travels through), and with subjects other than third person you form the usual present-tense endings of utazik, e.g., én átutazom, mi átutazunk. Past tense is formed as átutazott (he/she traveled through), átutaztunk (we traveled through), etc. It is often used in contexts describing travel itineraries, transit routes, or routes taken en route from one place to another.

Examples:

- A vonat Magyarországon átutazik Ausztriába. (The train travels through Hungary to Austria.)

- A repülő Franciaországon át Spanyolországba repül. (The plane flies through France to Spain.)

- Ő átutazik az országon, hogy elérje a következő állomást. (She/He travels through the country to reach the next stop.)
