Hagyjuk

Hagyjuk is a Hungarian verb form derived from hagyni, meaning to leave, to allow, or to abandon. It functions as the first-person plural present tense of hagyni and can also serve hortatively as a “let us” construction in commands or suggestions. In English, its meaning depends on context and may be rendered as “we leave” or “let us leave.”

Grammatical notes: The form is present tense, first-person plural. It is built from the stem hagy- plus the suffix -juk, with the choice of -juk or -jük determined by vowel harmony; for hagy, the form is hagyjuk. It is commonly used with objects or clauses: “Hagyjuk ezt” means “Let’s leave this,” and “Hagyjuk, hogy megoldódjon” means “Let it resolve itself.”

Usage and scope: Hagyjuk appears frequently in everyday speech and in neutral prose to soften imperatives or express collective decisions. It contrasts with other person forms such as “hagyom” (I leave) or “hagyod” (you leave). The past tense is hagytuk (we left). The phrase can appear in idioms like “Hagyjuk rá,” meaning “Let him/her deal with it” or “Let that be.” Its flexibility makes it common in dialogues, proposals, and instructions where speakers include themselves in the action.
