Fújtunk

Fújtunk is the first-person plural past tense form of the Hungarian verb fújni, meaning to blow. It is used when the subject performing the action is “we” and the action occurred in the past. The base present tense is fúj, and the past tense forms include fújtam, fújtál, fújt, fújtunk, fújtatok, fújtak.

The past tense form fújtunk is created by attaching the suffix -tunk to the stem fúj-. Hungarian distinguishes several past forms for different persons; fújtunk signals that the action was carried out by a group in the past. The verb fújni can denote blowing air, a gust, or blowing into something, and is commonly used both transitively and intransitively depending on context. For example, a typical use is to indicate a group action such as blowing a kiss: puszit fújtunk.

In everyday language, fújtunk appears in narrative and descriptive sentences to convey a completed action by multiple speakers. It can be paired with direct objects (what was blown) or used with the object omitted when it is understood from context.

Related forms include fúj, the present tense (we blow), and the other past forms: fújtam, fújtál, fújtunk, fújtatok, fújtak. The related noun is fújás, meaning blowing or the act of blowing.
