Questions & Answers about Mindenképpen holnap indulunk.
What does mindenképpen mean exactly?
Mindenképpen means definitely, in any case, no matter what, or by all means, depending on context.
In this sentence, it means something like we are definitely leaving tomorrow.
A useful warning: it does not mean always.
For always, Hungarian uses mindig.
Is mindenképpen one word?
Yes. Mindenképpen is written as one word.
It is built from older elements that originally had a more literal sense, but for learners it is best to treat it as a fixed adverb meaning definitely / in any case.
Why is indulunk in the present tense if the meaning is future?
Hungarian very often uses the present tense to talk about the future when the time is already clear from the sentence.
Here, holnap means tomorrow, so the future meaning is obvious:
- Holnap indulunk. = We’re leaving tomorrow.
This is very natural in Hungarian. English often does something similar with We’re leaving tomorrow.
