Questions & Answers about Este összecsomagolunk.
What does este mean here?
Este means in the evening or tonight, depending on context.
In this sentence, it works as a time expression:
- Este összecsomagolunk. = We’ll pack in the evening / tonight.
A useful thing to notice is that Hungarian often uses simple time words like this without a preposition such as in or at.
Why is there no word for we in the sentence?
Because Hungarian verb endings usually already show the subject.
In összecsomagolunk, the ending -unk means we. So the subject pronoun mi is not necessary.
Compare:
- összecsomagolok = I pack / I will pack
- összecsomagolsz = you pack / you will pack
- összecsomagolunk = we pack / we will pack
You can add mi for emphasis, but normally you do not need it:
- Mi este összecsomagolunk. = We will pack tonight.
This sounds more emphatic, like we in particular.
