Befogadjuk

Befogadjuk is the first-person plural present tense form of the Hungarian verb befogadni, meaning to accept, receive, or host someone or something into a group, place, or collection. The verb covers actions such as admitting people (for example refugees or students), taking objects into a collection, or incorporating ideas into a program or policy. In practical use, befogadjuk can express a commitment or plan to welcome or admit others.

Etymology and grammar: befogadni is built from the prefix be- meaning into or in combination with fogad, which means to receive or welcome. The infinitive befogadni yields various conjugated forms, with befogadjuk serving as the present tense, first-person plural. Related forms include befogadás (the act of admission or reception), befogadó (a person or institution that accepts or hosts), and befogadásra kész/alkalmas implying readiness to admit.

Usage notes: The term is common in social, governmental, and organizational contexts, such as programs that befogadják new arrivals, institutions that befogadnak students, or policies designed to befogadni new ideas. While closely related to synonyms like fogad, befogad emphasizes the act of taking in or including into a group or space rather than mere greeting.

Examples:

- Mi befogadjuk az új dolgozókat a cégnél.

- A menedékkérőket befogadjuk.

- A múzeum befogadja a ritka kiadványokat.
