GYERtek

Gyertek is a Hungarian verb form that translates roughly as “you all come.” It is the second-person plural imperative of the verb jönni, meaning to come, and is used to invite a group to arrive, join an activity, or gather for an event.

The form consists of the imperative stem gyer- combined with the plural suffix -tek, yielding gyertek. This construction follows standard Hungarian rules of vowel harmony and orthography. The stress typically falls on the first syllable: GYER-tek.

In usage, gyertek appears in everyday speech, informal writing, and public notices to warmly invite people. Examples include “Gyertek be, megvagyunk” (Come in, we’re here) or “Gyertek, várunk benneteket” (Come, we’re waiting for you). In casual contexts it conveys friendliness and inclusiveness. In more formal or polite situations, speakers may choose other forms such as alternative invitations that align with a more formal register.

Cultural notes: Because it is a common imperative form, gyertek is widely heard in family gatherings, schools, community events, and signage inviting participation. Its direct, personable tone makes it a frequent choice for mobilizing groups without sounding commanding.

Translation considerations: While the literal meaning is “you all come,” the phrase often functions idiomatically as an invitation, encouragement, or rallying call, depending on tone and context.
