Juttatnunk

Juttatnunk is a non-finite, first-person plural form of the Hungarian verb juttatni, which means to grant, provide, or allocate. In standard usage it appears in subordinate or dependent clauses, especially in formal or bureaucratic prose, where a subject expresses necessity, obligation, or intention to provide something to others or to a group.

Morphology and function: Juttatnunk is formed from the infinitive juttatni plus the 1st-person plural possessive suffix -nunk. It functions as a non-finite complement in sentences with modals such as kell (must) or akarjuk (we want), for example: Meg kell vizsgálnunk, hogy juttatnunk-e forrásokat. It cannot stand alone as a finite verb; it requires a main clause with a finite verb to complete the meaning.

Usage notes: The form is relatively rare in everyday speech and is more typical in official documents, policy briefs, and legal language. It conveys collective action—what “we” must or intend to provide. In many contexts, speakers substitute juttatni with other non-finite forms such as juttassunk or the conditional juttatnánk, depending on nuance and register.

Example contexts and alternatives: In policy writing, you might see phrases like “a költségvetés megértése érdekében meg kell vizsgálnunk, hogy juttatnunk-e forrásokat” (to ensure understanding of the budget, we must determine whether to provide resources). In casual speech, speakers typically use finite forms or other non-finite constructions rather than juttatnunk.
