ítélkezünk

Itélkezünk is the present tense, first-person plural form of the Hungarian verb ítélkezni, meaning to form a judgment about someone or something, often with a moral or evaluative sense. The infinitive is ítélkezni, and the noun for the act is ítélkezés. The verb derives from ítél (to judge) with a verbal suffix, creating a sense of ongoing or habitual judging.

Usage and nuance: ítélkezünk can convey a range from neutral assessment to moral condemnation, depending on context. It often appears in discussions about ethics, social behavior, or public discourse. The phrase may carry connotations of bias or self-righteousness, but it can also describe a straightforward evaluation. Common contexts include remarks about how a community or individuals judge others, or exhortations to refrain from premature judgments.

Grammatical notes: ítélkezni is a regular -kezni verb. In the present tense the forms include ítélkezem, ítélkezel, ítélkezik, ítélkezünk, ítélkeztek, and ítélkeznek. Past tenses are formed with standard Hungarian past endings, but exact forms vary by person and number.
