Megfeleljük

Megfeleljük is a Hungarian verb form associated with the root felel, meaning to be suitable, to meet or to comply with. It is typically understood as a first-person plural present-tense form used to indicate that a group meets certain requirements or expectations. In standard modern Hungarian, the corresponding form is megfelelünk (we meet/fulfil). The form megfeleljük is not widely accepted as standard in formal language and is often considered nonstandard or dialectal; some speakers may encounter it in casual speech or in error. The meaning, when used, is generally “we meet/fulfil (the requirements).”

Grammatical notes: megfeleljük is analyzed as a present-tense, first-person plural form of a stem related to megfelelni.

The word belongs to a group of verbs expressing adequacy or compliance, alongside megfelel, teljesít, and eleget tesz, which are more common in everyday and formal language.
