Bedeutung
Going shopping for groceries.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Közért' was the state-owned grocery chain during the socialist era. Many older people still call any grocery store a 'Közért'. In the capital, 'non-stop' shops are everywhere. You can 'boltba menni' at 3 AM to get a sandwich or a drink. In small villages, the shop might only be open for a few hours. 'Boltba menni' is a timed event everyone coordinates around. Younger people often use 'boltba menni' as an excuse to take a break from studying or work, often just to buy an energy drink or snack.
The 'Le-' Trick
If you live in an apartment, always use 'lemegyek' (I go down). It makes you sound very native!
Suffixes Matter
Don't forget the '-ba'. Without it, you're just saying 'I go shop', which sounds like a caveman.
