Csökkentsük

Csökkentsük is a Hungarian verb form that expresses a collective suggestion or proposal, roughly translating to “let us reduce” or “let’s reduce.” It is the inclusive hortative mood used to propose action by a group, often followed by an object and further specification of what should be reduced, such as taxes, expenses, or emissions.

Linguistically, csökkentsük is derived from the verb csökkent (to decrease or reduce) with a suffix that forms the first-person plural inclusive imperative. The form is commonly used in both spoken and written Hungarian, especially when addressing an audience or colleagues in a collaborative context. It can appear in formal policy discussions as well as everyday conversations.

Usage and context are typical in political, economic, and social discourse, where speakers frame proposals as joint actions. It is frequently found in slogans, policy briefs, parliamentary debates, or media interviews when a group intends to advocate particular reductions. While the form is clear and widely understood among Hungarian speakers, it is more common in persuasive or formal contexts than in purely informational writing.

Examples:

- Csökkentsük az adóterheket, hogy a vállalkozások élénkebben fejlődhessenek.

- Csökkentsük a bürokratikus kiadásokat a költségvetés stabilitásának érdekében.

Csökkentsük is not a standalone noun or title; it is a verb form used within sentences to express collaborative action. See also Hungarian mood and verb forms, including the hortative or inclusive imperative.
