Húzom

Húzom is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb húz, which means to pull, drag, or draw. This form is used when the speaker is performing the action of pulling in the present moment. The infinitive form of the verb is húzni.

In Hungarian, húz is a stem-ending verb. The present tense forms are: én húzom, te húzod, ő húzza, mi húzzuk, ti húzzátok, ők húzzák. Phonologically, the forms in the third person and plural often show a double z (húzza, húzzuk, húzzátok, húzzák) due to assimilation with the suffixes, while the first person singular is húzom with a single z.

Usage of húzom covers both literal pulling and metaphorical senses common to Hungarian. It can describe moving physical objects by pulling (for example, a chair within a room or a cart along a street) as well as figurative pulling or drawing, such as drawing a conclusion or pulling someone’s weight in a task, depending on context. The verb is typically used with appropriate case markings and particles to indicate direction, distance, or result.

Examples include: Húzom a széket a szobában. (I am pulling the chair in the room.) Húzom a kocsit az utcán. (I am pulling the cart along the street.) Húzod-e ezt a kábelt, vagy hagyod, hogy leessen?
