Készítsünk

Készítsünk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “let us prepare” or “shall we prepare.” It is the first-person plural hortative (jussive) form of the verb készíteni, used to propose a joint action. The form functions like an invitation or suggestion to do something together.

In grammar terms, készítsünk is formed from the stem készíts- of the verb készíteni, plus the inclusive suffix -ünk, which marks the action as involving “us.” The result is a standard Hungarian hortative that commonly appears in everyday speech, recipes, instructions, and planning conversations.

Usage notes include its versatility for collaborative tasks: it can introduce a new step in a process, organize a group activity, or simply propose a shared action. It is appropriate in informal and semi-formal contexts, and it can appear at the beginning of a sentence or within a larger clause, for example after a topic introduced earlier in the dialogue.

Examples:

- Készítsünk egy vacsorát. (Let’s prepare a dinner.)

- Készítsünk elő egy tervet. (Let’s draw up a plan.)

- Készítsünk egy fényképet. (Let’s take a photo.)
