Questions & Answers about Újrakezdjük a kézműves munkát.

Why is újrakezdjük written as one word?

Because it is made up of:

• újra = again
• kezd = start / begin
• -jük = we ... it (a verb ending)

In Hungarian, when a verbal prefix like újra- stands directly in front of the verb, it is usually written together with it:

• újrakezdjük = we start it again / we restart it

So this is not unusual spelling; it is a normal Hungarian pattern.

What does the ending -jük mean in újrakezdjük?

The ending -jük shows both:

• the subject is we
• the verb is using the definite conjugation

Hungarian verbs have two main conjugation patterns:

• indefinite: used when there is no definite direct object
• definite: used when the direct object is definite

Here the object is a kézműves munkát = the craft work, which is definite because of a = the.
So Hungarian uses the definite form:

• újrakezdjük = we restart it / we restart the ...

A learner may compare:

• Kezdünk. = We are starting.
• Kezdjük a munkát. = We are starting the work.
