Tisztítjuk

Tisztítjuk is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb tisztít, meaning to clean or to purify. It denotes that the speaker and others are performing cleaning or purification actions, either in the here and now or as a general practice. The exact sense depends on context, ranging from everyday cleaning of objects or spaces to more technical purification processes.

Etymology and grammar: The verb tisztít is built from the adjective tiszta (clean) with the -ít- suffix, which creates a causative or intensive verb meaning “to make clean” or “to purify.” The ending -juk marks the first-person plural present tense: tisztítjuk. Related forms include tisztítom (I clean), tisztítasz (you clean), tisztítja (he/she cleans), and tisztítják (they clean). In Hungarian, the present tense expresses present or immediate future meaning depending on context and adverbs.

Usage: In everyday language, tisztítjuk is used when the speaker includes themselves with others performing cleaning tasks, e.g., “Mi tisztítjuk a konyhát.” It can also refer to purification or refining processes in science or industry, as in “Mi tisztítjuk a vizet” (we purify the water). In technical contexts, phrases may use related terms like víztisztítás (water purification) or tisztító anyagok (cleaning agents).

Examples: Mi tisztítjuk a konyhát. A vízben zajló tisztításról beszélnek, és mi tisztítjuk a vizet szűrőkkel. See also kisztítás, tisztító, víztisztítás for related concepts.
