Agyunkat

Agyunkat is the accusative form of the Hungarian noun phrase agyunk, meaning "our brain." It is formed by the base noun agy ("brain") plus the first-person plural possessive suffix -unk ("our") and the accusative suffix -at, yielding a form used when the possessed noun functions as a direct object in a sentence.

Morphologically, agy + -unk + -at → agyunkat demonstrates two common Hungarian suffixation processes: possession and case marking. Hungarian follows vowel harmony rules that determine vowel variants of some suffixes, but in this instance the suffixes appear in their back-vowel forms. Primary word stress in Hungarian falls on the first syllable, so agyunkat is pronounced with initial stress.

In usage, agyunkat appears in sentences such as "Használjuk az agyunkat" (We use our brain) or "Ne fárasszuk az agyunkat" (Let’s not tire our brains). It also features in idiomatic expressions urging thought or common sense, for example encouraging someone to think carefully: "Kapcsoljuk be az agyunkat" (Let’s turn on our brains).

Related forms include agyam (my brain), agyunk (our brain, nominative), agyukat (their brain, accusative), and other case or possessive combinations formed by the agy stem.
