összetalálkoztak

Összetalálkoztak is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they met" or "they encountered" in English. It is the third-person plural past tense of the verb "összetalálkozik". This verb implies a chance meeting or coming across someone or something unexpectedly. It suggests that the individuals or entities involved were not specifically looking for each other but happened to be in the same place at the same time.

The word is composed of two parts: "össze" which means "together" or "into one," and "találkozik" which means "to meet" or "to find." Therefore, "összetalálkoztak" literally means "they met together" or "they found each other." This verb can be used in various contexts, describing people meeting each other, objects being found, or even abstract concepts coinciding. For example, one might say "A régi barátok váratlanul összetalálkoztak a piacon" which translates to "The old friends unexpectedly met in the market." It can also be used for non-human subjects, such as "A két bolygó érdekes módon összetalálkoztak a távcsövön keresztül," meaning "The two planets interestingly met through the telescope." The emphasis is on the serendipitous nature of the encounter.
