Szempontunk

Szempontunk is a Hungarian phrase meaning “our point of view” or “our perspective.” It combines szempont, meaning “aspect” or “criterion,” with the possessive suffix -unk, forming a noun that marks belonging to a group. The expression is typically used in written text to attribute a stance to a collective such as an editorial team, readership, or organization.

In usage, szempontunk is common in journalism, essays, and policy documents to introduce a position. Phrases such as szempontunk szerint (“in our view”) or szempontunkból (“from our standpoint”) signal a particular, non-neutral framing. The form often functions at the start of editorials or opinion pieces to indicate the authors’ collective stance, and it can be contrasted with more detached, factual reporting.

Grammatical notes include its adaptability with common case endings: szempontunk szerint, szempontunkból, szempontunktól, and similar constructions. It behaves as a noun with a possessive pronoun, allowing the standard Hungarian inflection patterns to apply depending on syntactic needs.

There is no widely documented organization or publication known by the exact name Szempontunk. Rather, the term operates primarily as a linguistic device within texts to convey a group’s stance. It exemplifies how Hungarian uses possessive forms to express collective position and how editors and writers frame arguments through a shared point of view.
