Fenntartjuk

Fenntartjuk is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb fenntartani, meaning to maintain, sustain, or uphold. It is used when the speaker, along with others, asserts that a state, claim, policy, or arrangement continues to be in effect. In everyday and formal contexts, it signals that a position or statement is being kept or reaffirmed.

Grammatically, fenntartani is a transitive verb. Its stem is fenntart-, and the present tense forms add personal endings; for the first person plural the form is fenntartjuk. Other present forms include fenntartok (1st singular), fenntartasz (2nd singular), fenntartja (3rd singular), fenntartjátok (2nd plural), and fenntartják (3rd plural). The word is closely related to fenntartás (maintenance, retention) and fenntartó (maintainer or maintainer device).

Usage notes: fenntartjuk is common in official or formal communication, such as press releases, policy statements, or legal contexts, where a party wishes to reaffirm its stance or commitments. The verb emphasizes continuity and persistence of a belief, policy, or arrangement, rather than merely applying a temporary measure. Translations vary with context, including “we maintain,” “we uphold,” or “we retain.”
