Fogyasztunk

Fogyasztunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning "we consume" or "we use up." It is the present tense, first-person plural form of fogyasztani, the verb meaning to consume, ingest, or use up resources, goods, or energy. The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object in the accusative (for example, "Mi fogyasztunk ételt és italt" or "Mi fogyasztunk vizet"). In a broader sense, it can refer to the consumption of time, media, or energy, not only food and drink.

As a grammatical form, fogyasztunk represents the "we" subject in present tense. The underlying verb fogyasztani is a regular -ani verb, so it follows standard Hungarian conjugation patterns for this class of verbs, with the stem fogyaszt-.

Derivatives include fogyasztás (consumption), which can refer to the act or rate of consuming; fogyasztó (consumer), a person or entity that consumes; and fogyasztói (consumer-related) as an adjective or noun modifier. The term appears in everyday language and in academic or policy contexts, especially in discussions of consumption patterns, consumer rights, and resource use.

In Hungarian discourse, the concept relates to the broader idea of a fogyasztói társadalom or consumer society, where consumption behavior is a central topic in economics, sociology, and marketing. Examples of usage illustrate how the verb can appear in statements about everyday behavior as well as cultural or economic analysis.
