Parancsoltunk

Parancsoltunk is a Hungarian verb form that encodes the first-person plural simple past tense of parancsolni, meaning "we commanded" or "we ordered." It is used to describe actions in which a group issued an order in the past.

The form is built from the stem parancsol- plus the past tense suffix -tunk, yielding parancsoltunk. It is a finite form in the indicative mood. The subject is typically understood as "mi" (we), although it can be emphasized or clarified with the pronoun.

It commonly takes a recipient in the dative (for example neki, nekik) to indicate to whom the command was given, and it may be followed by a subordinate clause introduced by hogy to express the content of the command.

Usage: Parancsoltunk appears in narrative, historical, or formal contexts when reporting that a group gave orders. It carries a formal, authoritative tone. The form is not used to express permission; if a softer or less direct nuance is required, other verbs or constructions may be preferred.

Etymology: From parancsolni, built on parancs (order) plus the infinitive suffix -ni, with the past suffix -tunk for the first-person plural.

See also: parancsol, parancsolás, parancs, parancsolni.

Example: Mi parancsoltunk neki, hogy érkezzen időben.
