Drágálunk

Drágálunk is a Hungarian term that translates to "we are expensive" or "we cost a lot." It is commonly used in a colloquial and sometimes humorous context to describe a situation where prices are perceived to be high. This can apply to goods, services, or even the general cost of living in a particular area.

The phrase often carries a sense of resignation or playful complaint rather than genuine anger. It's a way for people to commiserate about the financial realities they face. For example, someone might say "drágálunk" when discussing the price of groceries, rent, or a night out. The implication is that while the expense is noted, it's a recognized part of life.

In some instances, "drágálunk" can also be used ironically. A person might say it when something is surprisingly affordable, turning the common meaning on its head. However, its primary and most frequent use is to acknowledge and comment on high prices. The term itself is a conjugation of the Hungarian adjective "drága" (expensive) and the first-person plural suffix "-unk" (our/we).
