Érjük

érjük is a Hungarian verb form belonging to the first-person plural present tense of the verb érni. In general sense, érni can mean to reach, to attain, or to come to a particular state, so érjük is used to say “we reach” or “we attain.” The exact nuance depends on the surrounding verb and object, but the form is common in statements about current or habitual actions performed by the group including the speaker.

Morphologically, érjük is built from a stem ér- with the standard 1st person plural present tense ending -jük, which follows vowel harmony rules typical of Hungarian verbs. The form can appear in different grammatical constructions when combined with other elements; for example, it often occurs in phrases that involve achieving a goal or reaching a destination, sometimes with a following particle or a separable prefix in the constructed verb.

Usage and meaning notes:

- érjük can state a simple present “we reach/attain” or be part of a more complex clause about collective action.

- In many contexts, it is paired with another verb in the infinitive to express achievement of an objective, as in érjük el a célt (we reach/achieve the goal).

- The form is primarily literary or formal in tone; in everyday speech, speakers may use alternative constructions depending on emphasis and register.

Examples:

- Érjük el a célt. (We reach/achieve the goal.)

- Érjük meg ennek a döntésnek a következményeit. (We will/shall understand the consequences of this decision.)
