Kanyarodunk

Kanyarodunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we turn” or “we are turning.” It is the present indicative, first person plural form of the verb kanyarodni, which means to turn, to bend, or to deviate from a course, often used in the context of driving or navigating a road. The form can describe a current action or a habitual action involving turning.

Etymology and grammar: The verb kanyarodni is built from the noun kanyar, meaning a bend or curve, plus the -odni suffix that marks the infinitive. In Hungarian conjugation, the present tense forms use person-specific endings: -ok/-ek/-ök for first person singular, -unk/-ünk for first person plural, -sz for second person singular, -tok/-tök for second person plural, and -nak/-nek for third person plural. Therefore, kanyarodunk uses the base kanyarod- with the first person plural ending -unk. The corresponding forms include kanyarodok (I turn), kanyarodsz (you turn), kanyarodik (he/she/it turns), kanyarodunk (we turn), kanyarodtok (you turn, plural), and kanyarodnak (they turn).

Usage: Kanyarodunk is commonly used in everyday speech when describing actions on roads or in directing others. It can be followed by directional adverbs such as balra (left) or jobbra (right), as in “Mi kanyarodunk balra.” It also has related forms for commands or suggestions, such as kanyarodjunk (let’s turn).
