Évente találkozunk.

Évente means yearly, annually, or every year. It is an adverb of frequency, so it tells you how often the action happens.

In Évente találkozunk, it answers the question How often do we meet? → Every year.

It is not the same as in a year in the sense of one year from now.

Találkozunk is the verb form meaning we meet.

It comes from the dictionary form találkozni = to meet.
The ending -unk shows:

• 1st person plural = we
• present tense

So the whole verb already contains the subject we.

Hungarian usually does not need a subject pronoun if the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

So:

• találkozunk = we meet
• mi találkozunk = we meet, but with extra emphasis or contrast

You would add mi only if you want to stress it, for example:

• Mi évente találkozunk, ők havonta.
  We meet every year, they meet monthly.

The dictionary form of many Hungarian verbs is the 3rd person singular form, and for this verb that form is találkozik = he/she meets.

When you conjugate it, the ending changes:

• találkozik = he/she meets
• találkozom / találkozok = I meet
• találkozunk = we meet

So -ik is not something that stays in every form. It is just part of the dictionary form.

Because of vowel harmony.

Hungarian endings often change depending on the vowels in the word.
Találkoz- contains back vowels such as a, á, and o, so it takes the back-vowel version of the ending:

• -unk rather than -ünk

So:

• találkozunk is correct

It describes a habitual or repeated action.

Hungarian present tense is often used for general truths, routines, and habits, just like English present simple:

• Évente találkozunk. = We meet every year.

It does not mean we are meeting right now.

They are very similar.

• évente = yearly, annually
• minden évben = every year

In many situations they are interchangeable:

• Évente találkozunk.
• Minden évben találkozunk.

The first is a little more compact and adverb-like; the second is a little more literal and transparent for learners.

Hungarian word order is more flexible than English word order. Putting évente first is very natural because it sets the time frame right away.

So Évente találkozunk sounds like:

• As for frequency, we meet every year
• or simply a natural neutral statement with the time expression first

You can also say:

• Találkozunk évente

but the version with évente first is very common and natural.

Usually no. Hungarian normally uses találkozni valakivel = to meet with someone / meet someone, where the other person is marked with -val / -vel.

For example:

• Évente találkozunk Annával. = We meet Anna every year.
• literally: We meet with Anna every year.

So Hungarian does not usually say the equivalent of meet Anna with a direct object here.

Yes. It is completely natural.

Találkozunk already gives the idea we meet or we get together, and the missing details can be understood from context.

If needed, Hungarian can add more information:

• Évente találkozunk a családdal. = We meet the family every year.
• Évente találkozunk Budapesten. = We meet in Budapest every year.

But the short sentence Évente találkozunk is perfectly complete.

A careful pronunciation is:

• [ˈeːvɛntɛ ˈtɒlaːlkozuŋk]

A simple approximation for an English speaker is:

• AY-ven-teh TAW-laal-ko-zoonk

A few useful points:

• Hungarian stress is on the first syllable of each word.
• é is a long vowel.
• á is also long.
• The n before k in -nk sounds like ngk, similar to the end of bank.

Usually it suggests once each year or on a yearly basis.

In real life, it can sometimes be a slightly loose statement about a regular annual pattern, not a mathematically exact claim. But the normal interpretation is:

• we meet once a year
• our meetings happen yearly
