Közöljük

Közöljük is a Hungarian verb form used in formal public communication. It is the first-person plural present tense of the verb közölni, meaning to inform, announce, or publish. The form is commonly found at the beginning of official statements, press releases, and notices issued by institutions, government bodies, and organizations, where the speaker represents the issuing entity.

Etymology and meaning: The base verb közölni denotes the act of informing or conveying information. The form közöljük adds the suffix -jük to indicate “we,” yielding a sense of collective or official statement. The usage is typically neutral and procedural, signaling that information is being communicated rather than argued or debated. The expression can be translated as “We inform you that…” or “We would like to inform you that…”

Usage and examples: Közöljük is employed to present information to the public or a defined audience in a formal tone. Examples include statements like “Közöljük, hogy a rendezvény időpontja megváltozott” (We inform you that the event date has changed) or “Közöljük, hogy a határidő meghosszabbításra került” (We inform you that the deadline has been extended). The verb has other finite forms such as közöltünk (we informed) and közöltek (they informed), while the infinitive is közölni and the past participle is közölt.
