Egészen a kikötőig evezünk.

Egészen adds emphasis and means something like all the way, right up to, or completely up to in this sentence.

So:

• A kikötőig evezünk = We row to the harbor
• Egészen a kikötőig evezünk = We row all the way to the harbor

It makes the endpoint sound more definite or more emphatic.

The a is the definite article, meaning the.

• a kikötőig = to the harbor / as far as the harbor

Even though -ig is attached to kikötő, the article still stays separate in front of the noun:

• a városig = to the city
• az állomásig = to the station

So Hungarian often uses:

• article + noun + case ending

rather than putting everything into one separate word like English does.

The suffix -ig means up to, until, as far as.

In this sentence:

• kikötőig = as far as the harbor

It can be used with both places and time:

• Budapestig = as far as Budapest
• hat óráig = until six o’clock

So here it marks the endpoint of the rowing.

Because the sentence focuses on the endpoint up to the harbor, not necessarily movement into it or toward it in another way.

Compare:

• a kikötőig = as far as the harbor
• a kikötőbe = into the harbor
• a kikötőhöz = to/toward the harbor

So -ig is about the limit or final point of the action. It answers how far?

Evezünk means we row or we are rowing.

It comes from the verb evezni = to row.

The ending -ünk shows we.

So:

• evezek = I row
• evezel = you row
• evez = he/she rows
• evezünk = we row
• eveztek = you (plural) row
• eveznek = they row

Hungarian usually does not need a separate subject pronoun, because the verb ending already shows the person.

Because Hungarian verb endings usually already show the subject.

In evezünk, the ending -ünk tells you the subject is we.

So mi evezünk also means we row, but mi is usually omitted unless you want emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• Evezünk. = We’re rowing.
• Mi evezünk, nem ők. = We are rowing, not they.

It is present tense.

Depending on context, Hungarian present tense can correspond to different English translations:

• we row
• we are rowing
• sometimes even we will row, if the context clearly points to the future

In this sentence, the most natural English translation is often We’re rowing all the way to the harbor or We row all the way to the harbor, depending on context.

Hungarian word order is flexible and often depends on emphasis.

This order puts focus on the destination/end point:

• Egészen a kikötőig evezünk.
  = The important information is that we row all the way to the harbor.

You could also say:

• Evezünk egészen a kikötőig.

That is also grammatical, but it may sound a little more neutral in some contexts.

Hungarian often places the most important or contrastive information before the verb.

It is not a completely fixed idiom, but it is a very common pattern:

• egészen + noun + -ig

This means all the way to / right up to / until.

Examples:

• egészen a házig = all the way to the house
• egészen estig = until evening
• egészen Budapestig = all the way to Budapest

So once you learn this pattern, you can use it in many similar sentences.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

kee-kur-tuh-eeg

A few important points:

• ki sounds roughly like kee
• ö is a front rounded vowel, somewhat like German ö or French eu
• ő is the long version of ö
• ig here sounds like eeg

The word is made up of:

• kikötő
  • -ig

Hungarian pronunciation is very regular, so once you learn the sounds, words are usually pronounced as written.

Here evezünk is being used intransitively: we row.

The sentence does not say what we are rowing with or in; it just describes the action and the destination.

Hungarian can also use related expressions like:

• csónakkal evezünk = we row with a boat / we are rowing in a boat
• a folyón evezünk = we are rowing on the river

So in this sentence, the important thing is not the object, but the movement toward the endpoint.

Yes, depending on context, evezni can sometimes be translated as to row or to paddle, especially in looser everyday English.

Still, row is usually the safest basic translation for learners.

If the context is specifically kayaking or canoeing, English might prefer paddle, but the Hungarian sentence itself does not spell that out.
