Ruházunk

Ruházunk is a Hungarian verb form. It represents the first-person plural present tense of the verb ruház, which means to clothe, outfit, or equip. It is used when the subject provides clothing or equipment to a person or group, or when describing the act of outfitting. The form is relatively formal or literary; in everyday speech, speakers more often use the verbs öltöztetünk for clothing people or felszerelünk for outfitting equipment.

Etymology and usage context: The verb ruház is linked to the noun ruha (garment) and the broader family of words related to clothing and gear, such as ruházat (outfit, clothing, gear). The term appears mainly in formal, ceremonial, administrative, or historical contexts, rather than in casual conversation. When talking about equipping a group or distributing apparel, ruházunk may be encountered, but its use is typically more restrained.

Grammatical notes: Ruházunk is a transitive verb form and requires a direct object representing what is being clothed or equipped. It conveys a sense of provisioning or outfitting carried out by the subject collective. In modern everyday usage, speakers often opt for more common alternatives depending on the nuance—öltöztetünk for clothing people or felszerelünk for supplying equipment.
