Amióta az előrejelzést olvassuk, jobban felkészülünk.

Amióta means since or ever since when it introduces a clause.

• Amióta az előrejelzést olvassuk... = Since we have been reading the forecast...
• Mióta? is the question word Since when?

So:

• mióta = question word
• amióta = connector in a statement

Because Hungarian often uses the present tense for actions or situations that started in the past and are still true now, especially after amióta.

So olvassuk can correspond to English we have been reading, not just we read.

This is very normal in Hungarian:

• Amióta itt lakunk... = Since we have lived here... / Since we’ve been living here...

English often prefers a present perfect or present perfect continuous, but Hungarian usually stays with the present here.

Because the sentence has a definite object: az előrejelzést = the forecast.

Hungarian has two main verb conjugations:

• indefinite conjugation
• definite conjugation

Since the object is specific and definite, Hungarian uses the definite conjugation:

• olvasunk = we read / we are reading, in general or with no definite object
• olvassuk = we read it / we are reading the specific thing

So in this sentence, olvassuk is required because of az előrejelzést.

Because Hungarian verb endings already show the subject.

• olvassuk = we read it
• felkészülünk = we prepare / we get prepared

So Hungarian usually leaves out the subject pronoun mi = we unless it is needed for emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• Amióta az előrejelzést olvassuk, jobban felkészülünk. = neutral
• Mi jobban felkészülünk. = We prepare better, perhaps contrasting with someone else

The -t marks the direct object in Hungarian. This is the accusative case.

Base form:

• előrejelzés = forecast, prediction

Object form:

• előrejelzést = forecast, as the thing being read

So:

• az előrejelzést olvassuk = we read the forecast

English usually does not mark direct objects this way, but Hungarian does.

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before a consonant sound
• az before a vowel sound

Since előrejelzés begins with the vowel e, the correct article is:

• az előrejelzés
• az előrejelzést

This is similar to the difference between a and an in English, though the Hungarian rule is not exactly the same in every detail.

Jobban means better or more effectively here.

It is the comparative form used adverbially, modifying the verb felkészülünk.

Compare:

• jó = good
• jobb = better
• jól = well
• jobban = better

In this sentence, it describes how we prepare, so Hungarian uses jobban, not jobb.

Felkészülünk comes from felkészül, which means to prepare oneself, to get prepared, or to get ready.

It breaks down like this:

• fel- = verbal prefix
• készül = get ready, prepare
• -ünk = we

So felkészülünk literally means something like we get ourselves prepared.

In natural English, it is usually just translated as:

• we prepare
• we get better prepared
• we are better prepared

Because this is the normal neutral form of the verb: felkészül.

Hungarian verbal prefixes often attach directly to the verb in neutral statements:

• felkészülünk = we prepare

But the prefix can move in other sentence types, especially with negation or strong focus:

• nem készülünk fel = we do not prepare
• csak későn készülünk fel = we only prepare late

So felkészülünk is the expected basic form here.

Yes. Hungarian word order is flexible, and changing it often changes emphasis more than basic meaning.

The given sentence is a natural, neutral order:

• Amióta az előrejelzést olvassuk, jobban felkészülünk.

You could also say:

• Jobban felkészülünk, amióta az előrejelzést olvassuk.

That still means roughly the same thing, but it puts the main statement first and may sound slightly different in focus.

So the original version is a good neutral model for learners.

Not always. Előrejelzés can mean forecast, prediction, or projection in different contexts.

But in everyday use, it often refers to a weather forecast, especially if the context makes that obvious.

So in this sentence, many learners would naturally understand it as the weather forecast, but the word itself is broader than that.
