Nyilatkoztunk

Nyilatkoztunk is the past tense, first-person plural form of the Hungarian verb nyilatkozni, meaning to declare or to make a statement. The form translates to “we declared” or “we stated” and is used when a group publicly stated something.

Nyilatkozni is related to the noun nyilatkozat, which means a statement or declaration. The verb forms its tenses regularly in Hungarian: for example, nyilatkozom (I declare), nyilatkozol (you declare), nyilatkozik (he/she/it declares), nyilatkozunk (we declare), nyilatkoztok (you all declare), nyilatkoznak (they declare). The past tense for the first-person plural is nyilatkoztunk, as in “we declared.” The noun nyilatkozat is commonly used to refer to the content of a declaration, while nyilatkozni and nyilatkozik cover the act of declaring.

Usage: The form nyilatkoztunk appears mainly in formal or journalistic contexts, such as news reports, official communications, or press releases, where it is reported that a group or organization publicly stated something. In everyday speech, speakers more often use alternatives such as mondtuk (we said) or közöltük (we communicated). Example: “Mi a közleményben nyilatkoztunk arról, hogy…” (We stated in the press release that …).

See also: nyilatkozat; nyilatkozni; nyilatkozik. And a note: while nyilatkoztunk specifically means “we declared,” the exact content of the declaration is typically followed by what was stated.
