Questions & Answers about Tavaly utaztunk.
What does tavaly mean, and what kind of word is it?
Tavaly means last year. It is an adverb of time, so it gives information about when the action happened.
In Hungarian, time expressions like this often appear near the beginning of the sentence:
- Tavaly utaztunk. = We travelled last year.
- Ma dolgozom. = I am working today.
- Holnap indulunk. = We are leaving tomorrow.
Unlike English, Hungarian does not need a preposition here, so you do not say something equivalent to in last year.
What does utaztunk mean exactly?
Utaztunk means we travelled or we were travelling, depending on context.
It comes from the verb utazik, which means to travel.
The form breaks down like this:
- utaz- = the verb stem
- -t- = past tense marker
- -unk = we ending
So:
- utaztunk = we travelled
Why is there no separate word for we?
