alkalmazunk

Alkalmazunk is the present-tense, first-person plural form of the Hungarian verb alkalmazni, meaning to apply or to employ. The infinitive is alkalmazni, and the related noun alkalmazás denotes an application. The verb covers both applying a method, rule, or technique, and employing people or resources. In many contexts it can be translated as “we apply” or “we employ,” depending on the sense.

Usage and nuances: Alkalmazunk is transitive and requires a direct object. It can describe applying a method, procedure, or tool (for example, “We apply a new method”), or employing staff or resources (for example, “We employ ten engineers”). Note that applying for a job is expressed with jelentkezni, not alkalmazni.

Conjugation and forms: Present indicative forms are: én alkalmazom, te alkalmazod, ő alkalmazza, mi alkalmazunk, ti alkalmaztok, ők alkalmaznak. The verb is regular in its conjugation; related tenses are formed with auxiliary verbs or the perfect participle (for example, alkalmaztunk for “we applied” in the past).

Related terms: alkalmazás (application), alkalmazható (applicable), alkalmazott (employee), alkalmazó (employer or user). The word is used across business, science, and everyday language to denote the act of applying or employing something, as well as the capability for applicability.
