Megállapodunk

Megállapodunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we agree” or “let us agree.” It is the present-tense, first-person plural form of megállapodni, the verb that means to come to an agreement or to settle terms through discussion. The expression is used in both spoken and written Hungarian, especially in contexts of negotiation, diplomacy, and contracts, to indicate mutual consent or the intention to reach a common understanding.

Etymology and grammar: Megállapodni is built from the prefix meg- and the root állapod-, related to the noun állapodás, meaning “an agreement.” The form megállapodunk marks the subject as “we” and expresses a present or near-future sense of agreement. In conversation, it can be used with or without an explicit subject, and it is common to follow it with a clause specifying the issue on which agreement is being sought, for example: Megállapodunk abban, hogy… (“We agree that…”).

Usage: The phrase often introduces a mutual commitment or a consensual decision reached by two or more parties. It can appear in formal declarations, contract discussions, or organizational decisions. The past tense equivalent is megállapodtunk, used to state that an agreement has already been reached. The related noun megállapodás refers to the actual agreement, while megállapodni is the action of reaching an agreement.
