Hajtunk

Hajtunk is a Hungarian verb form. Specifically, it is the first-person plural present indicative form of the verb hajtani, which means to push, drive forward, propel, or urge onward. In contemporary Hungarian, hajtani is used in contexts involving physical propulsion (such as pushing a cart or urging a horse to move) and in figurative senses (urging a group, pushing ahead with plans). For driving a motor vehicle, the more common verb is vezetni; hajtani here emphasizes momentum, propulsion, or the act of pushing forward rather than simply operating a vehicle.

Grammatical notes indicate that hajtunk combines the verb stem hajt- with the present-tense suffix -unk, signaling the subject “we.” The form is neutral and widely understood in standard Hungarian, with its exact sense determined by context and accompanying words.

Usage and nuance: hajtunk can denote physical propulsion (for example, moving something forward) as well as figurative movement (pressing forward with an initiative or project). Typical phrases include hajtunk előre (we move forward) or hajtunk egyet (we push ahead a little). When referring to driving a vehicle, speakers are more likely to use vezetünk, though hajtunk may appear in older or literary registers, or in expressions emphasizing force or drive rather than mere operation.

See also: hajtani, hajtó, hajtás, vezetni. Additional notes: hajtunk is not a standalone noun and does not function as a proper name or place in standard Hungarian.
