Határozatot kérünk.

Határozat is a formal noun. Depending on context, it can mean decision, resolution, ruling, or official determination.

So in Határozatot kérünk, the tone is usually administrative, legal, or institutional rather than casual everyday speech.

Because határozatot is the direct object of the verb kérünk.

Hungarian marks direct objects with the accusative ending -t.
So:

• határozat = decision / resolution
• határozatot = a decision / resolution, as the thing being requested

The full form is:

• határozat + -t

But Hungarian often inserts a linking vowel, so it becomes határozatot.

The actual object marker is -t, but many Hungarian nouns need a vowel before that -t for easier pronunciation.

So instead of a simple határozatt, Hungarian uses:

• határozatot

The vowel o fits the vowel harmony pattern of the word, since határozat contains back vowels.

Kérünk comes from the verb kér, meaning to ask for or to request.

Here it is:

• present tense
• 1st person plural
• so: we ask / we request

The ending -ünk shows we.

So you do not need a separate Hungarian word for we unless you want extra emphasis.

It is built into the verb kérünk.

Hungarian often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is.

So:

• kérünk = we ask / we request

If you added mi for we, it would usually sound emphatic:

• Mi határozatot kérünk = We are the ones asking for a decision

This is a very important Hungarian grammar point.

Hungarian verbs can use two different conjugations:

• indefinite conjugation
• definite conjugation

Here, határozatot is an indefinite / non-specific object, so the verb is kérünk.

Compare:

• Határozatot kérünk. = We request a decision / resolution.
• A határozatot kérjük. = We request the decision / resolution.

So:

• kérünk goes with an indefinite object
• kérjük goes with a definite object

Hungarian often allows a bare singular noun where English would normally use a or the.

So Határozatot kérünk can still naturally mean We request a decision even without a separate word for a.

If you want to make the indefiniteness more explicit, you could say:

• Egy határozatot kérünk. = We request a / one decision.

If you want a specific one, you would say:

• A határozatot kérjük. = We request the decision.

Yes, but this sentence has a very natural Hungarian order.

Határozatot kérünk puts the object right before the verb, which is a common pattern in Hungarian, especially with an indefinite object.

This order sounds compact and natural. It presents requesting a decision as the main action.

A different order can be possible, but it may sound less neutral or give a different emphasis depending on context and intonation.

Yes, it sounds quite formal and official.

Both words contribute to that tone:

• határozat is an administrative/legal kind of noun
• kérünk means we request, which is more formal than many everyday ways of asking

So this is the kind of sentence you might see or hear in:

• official meetings
• legal or bureaucratic contexts
• written requests
• institutional communication

It can be either, depending on context.

Most literally, kérünk means we request. But in formal language, Hungarian can also use we in an institutional or representative sense, similar to English.

So the speaker could be:

• several people
• a committee
• an office
• an organization
• one speaker representing a group

Then both the noun phrase and the verb would usually change.

You would get:

• A határozatot kérjük.

Here:

• a = the
• határozatot is still accusative
• kérjük is the definite verb form

So the contrast is:

• Határozatot kérünk. = We request a decision / some decision.
• A határozatot kérjük. = We request the decision.
