Hívunk

Hívunk is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb hívni, meaning to call, invite, or summon, depending on context. As the present tense form for "we," it is used when the speaker is referring to actions carried out by the speaker and at least one other person.

In grammar, hívni is a regular verb, and hívunk shows the typical suffix for the 1st person plural in the present tense. The infinitive is hívni, and related forms include hívás (a call or invitation) and hívó (the caller). The verb is transitive, taking a direct object such as valakit (someone) or something you are calling or inviting.

Usage is context-dependent. The sense can be to call someone by name, to contact someone, or to invite someone to an event. For inviting specifically, Hungarian often uses meghívni (to invite), for which the corresponding present 1st person plural form is meghívunk. For telephone calls, the verb felhívni (to phone) is more common, whereas hívni by itself may refer to calling in a broader sense or naming someone.

Etymology-wise, hívni is a native Hungarian verb with related terms such as hívás (a call or invitation) and hívó (caller). It is widely used in ordinary speech and writing, especially in phrases that express the act of calling, naming, or inviting someone.
