Elnyomom

Elnyomom is the first-person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb elnyomni, meaning to oppress or to suppress. It denotes that the speaker is currently performing the action of suppressing or repressing something.

Etymology and construction: The verb elnyomni is formed from the prefix el- combined with nyomni, the infinitive meaning “to press.” Together, they convey the sense of pressing down or subduing, with figurative uses such as suppressing a protest, a sound, or emotions. Elnyomom follows ordinary Hungarian conjugation patterns for verbs ending in -ni.

Conjugation and examples: Present tense forms include én elnyomom, te elnyomod, ő elnyomja, mi elnyomjuk, ti elnyomjátok, ők elnyomják. Because it is transitive, it takes a direct object in the accusative case. For example: Én elnyomom a zajt. A zajt elnyomom. These constructions show the definite-object concord typical of present-tense usage with elnyomni.

Usage and nuance: Elnyomom is a strong verb and is used in contexts ranging from everyday situations—such as quieting noise—to more charged political or social discourse about suppressing opposition or dissent. Its nuance can imply intentional, deliberate action and often carries a sense of coercion or control.
