Questions & Answers about Előre lépünk.
What does előre mean here?
Here előre is an adverb meaning forward or ahead.
It is often used with verbs of movement:
- menni előre = to go forward
- lépni előre = to step forward
In other contexts, előre can also mean in advance, so its exact meaning depends on the sentence.
What is lépünk exactly?
Lépünk is the verb lépni in the 1st person plural present tense:
- lépni = to step
- lépünk = we step / we are stepping
So the ending shows that the subject is we.
Why is there no separate word for we?
Hungarian usually does not need a subject pronoun when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.
So:
- lépünk already means we step
- mi lépünk also means we step, but mi is only added for emphasis or contrast
For example:
- Mi lépünk, nem ők. = We are stepping, not them.
