Questions & Answers about Meghatározzuk a havi díjat.

What does meghatározzuk break down into?

It has three main parts:

• meg- = a verbal prefix
• határoz = the verb stem
• -zuk / -zzuk = the we ending used here

So meghatározzuk means roughly we determine / we define it.

A useful thing to know is that Hungarian often adds a prefix like meg- to give the verb a more complete, result-oriented meaning. In many contexts, meghatároz is better translated as determine, define, or set than just the simpler base verb.

Also, the spelling has zz because of how the ending attaches to a stem ending in z.

Why is there no separate word for we?

Because Hungarian usually puts the subject inside the verb ending.

In meghatározzuk, the ending tells you the subject is we. So Hungarian does not need a separate pronoun like English does.

You could add mi for emphasis:

Mi meghatározzuk a havi díjat.
= We determine the monthly fee.

But in normal sentences, the pronoun is usually omitted.

Why is it meghatározzuk and not meghatározunk?
