Többszünk

Többszünk is a Hungarian word that translates to "most of us" or "the majority of us." It is a possessive pronoun construction formed by combining the word több (more, many) with the suffix -ünk (our). This suffix indicates possession by the first-person plural, referring to a group that includes the speaker.

The word is used to denote a shared experience, opinion, or characteristic among a group of people, implying that a significant portion of that group, but not necessarily all, engages in or feels a certain way. For example, one might say "Többsünk örülne egy kis nyárnak" which translates to "Most of us would be happy for a little summer." Here, it suggests that while not every single person in the group desires summer, a substantial majority does.

The usage of többszünk highlights a collective sentiment or action without asserting absolute unanimity. It allows for nuance, acknowledging that there might be exceptions within the group. It is a common expression in everyday Hungarian conversation and literature to describe general trends or commonalities experienced by a group. The word emphasizes a sense of shared identity or common ground among a plurality of individuals within a defined or implied collective.
