Szavaztunk

Szavaztunk is the first-person plural past tense form of the Hungarian verb szavazni, meaning "to vote." It is used to express that a group including the speaker participated in a vote in the past. Like other Hungarian past tense forms, szavaztunk is formed from the verb stem szavaz- with the suffix -tunk, which marks the first-person plural.

In usage, szavaztunk appears in statements about elections, referendums, or any decision reached by voting. It can be combined with the target of the vote, typically expressed in the accusative or with a case-marked prepositional phrase, for example: "A javaslatról szavaztunk" (We voted on the proposal) or "A közgyűlésen mi szavaztunk a jelöltekre" (In the council, we voted for the candidates).

The term is neutral and commonly found in everyday language, news reporting, and historical or narrative passages where a group’s voting action is being described. It does not by itself indicate the outcome of the vote; the result is conveyed by additional context or qualifiers such as "igen" (yes) or "nem" (no) or by stating the decision that followed.

Examples:

- A javaslatról szavaztunk a tegnapi ülésen.

- Mi szavaztunk a jelöltre, és ő nyert.

- A választáson szavaztunk együtt a polgármesterre.
