Mindegy, melyik túrát választjuk, csak legyen biztonságos.

Mindegy means it doesn’t matter or it’s all the same.

In this sentence, it introduces the idea that the specific choice of hike is not important. What matters comes later: csak legyen biztonságos.

Although it historically comes from mind + egy, learners should treat mindegy as a fixed whole expression.

Because túrát is the direct object of választjuk (we choose), so it takes the accusative ending -t.

• túra = hike / tour
• túrát = hike / tour as a direct object

So:

• melyik túra = which hike
• melyik túrát = which hike (as the thing being chosen)

Notice that in Hungarian, the case ending usually appears only on the noun, not on the question word:

• melyik túrát
• not melyiket túrát

Because Hungarian has two main conjugation patterns: indefinite and definite.

Here, választjuk is the definite conjugation of választ (choose) in we form.

Why definite? Because the object is treated as specific: melyik túrát = which hike from a known set of hikes.

Compare:

• választunk = we choose something / we choose in general
• választjuk = we choose it / we choose the specific one

Questions with melyik often trigger the definite conjugation because they refer to selecting one from identifiable options.

Yes, melyik does mean which.

In English, after it doesn’t matter, we often say which:

• It doesn’t matter which hike we choose

Hungarian works similarly:

• Mindegy, melyik túrát választjuk

So melyik is not asking a direct question here. It introduces an embedded which-clause: which hike we choose.

Usually not in the same way.

After mindegy, Hungarian very naturally uses melyik:

• Mindegy, melyik túrát választjuk.

This means It doesn’t matter which hike we choose.

If you use bármelyik or akármelyik, the meaning shifts toward any one at all / whichever one rather than the neutral embedded which after it doesn’t matter.

So for this exact pattern, melyik is the normal choice.

Right. Here csak is not a strict only.

In this sentence, csak means something like:

• just
• as long as
• the only thing is that

So:

• csak legyen biztonságos = as long as it’s safe / it just has to be safe

This is a very common Hungarian use of csak: it highlights the one important condition.

Because legyen is the imperative/subjunctive form of lenni (to be), and Hungarian often uses this form when expressing a wish, requirement, or condition.

Here the meaning is not just a plain statement like it is safe. It is more like:

• let it be safe
• it should be safe
• as long as it is safe

So:

• legyen = 3rd person singular imperative/subjunctive of lenni

This is very natural after csak in sentences expressing a condition or wish.

The subject is understood, not spoken explicitly. It refers to the hike that gets chosen.

So the idea is:

• csak legyen biztonságos = it just has to be safe

That hidden it is the chosen túra (hike).

Hungarian often leaves pronouns out when they are clear from context.

Hungarian predicate adjectives do not agree with the subject the way they do in some other languages.

So biztonságos simply stays biztonságos:

• A túra biztonságos. = The hike is safe.
• A túrák biztonságosak. = The hikes are safe.

In your sentence, the understood subject is a single chosen hike, so singular makes sense anyway. But the main point is that the adjective form itself is normal here and does not need extra marking beyond what Hungarian grammar requires.

Because Hungarian often omits hogy before embedded clauses when the structure is already clear.

So:

• Mindegy, melyik túrát választjuk is perfectly natural.

You may also hear longer structures in other contexts with hogy, but here the shorter version is very common and idiomatic.

The sentence is compact and natural Hungarian: first the speaker says it doesn’t matter which hike we choose, then adds the important condition just let it be safe.

The given word order is very natural, but Hungarian word order is flexible because it is strongly tied to emphasis.

This version:

• Mindegy, melyik túrát választjuk, csak legyen biztonságos.

puts the focus like this:

1. the actual choice does not matter
2. safety is the important condition

If you changed the order, the meaning would stay similar, but the emphasis could shift. Hungarian often uses word order to highlight what is most important, new, or contrasted.

So the sentence as given is a very idiomatic way to express the idea.
