Töltsük

Töltsük is a Hungarian verb form used to express a suggestion or invitation to perform the action of filling. It represents the first-person plural form in the hortative or jussive mood of the verb tölteni, which means to fill, load, or pour. In English, it is commonly translated as "let us fill" or "let's fill."

Grammatical notes about form and use: Töltsük is formed from the verb stem töl- plus a suffix that marks the first-person plural. It is typically used with a direct object and may be combined with prefixes like meg or fel to refine the meaning (completion or fullness). Examples include töltsük meg a poharat ("let us fill the glass") and töltsük fel az üveget ("let us fill up the bottle"). The form is the counterpart to other mood forms such as töltsétek (you plural, imperative) and töltsék (they let fill).

Contexts and typical usage: Töltsük appears in spoken Hungarian, recipes, instructions, and any situation where speakers propose a joint action. It signals collaboration or a group decision and is less common in everyday casual speech but widely understood across registers. While the base verb tölteni covers generic filling, tölsük specifically carries the inclusive “let us” nuance.

Related forms and notes: The broader verb tölteni has other conjugations across tenses and moods (e.g., töltök, töltetsz, tölt, töltünk). Understanding töltjük or töltitek as needed helps place töltsük within the regular Hungarian verb system. The term itself is not a noun or proper name; it is a grammatical form used within sentences.
