befejezzék

Befejezzük is a Hungarian verb form derived from the infinitive befejezni, meaning to finish or to complete. In everyday use it functions as the first-person plural present tense form of the verb and is also used as a jussive (let us finish). As such, it is commonly translated as “let us finish” or, depending on context, “we finish” or “we are finishing.”

Morphology and spelling notes: The infinitive befejezni is a prefix-prefixed, imperfective/perfective verb, and the form befejezzük carries the 1st person plural present tense ending. The double z in befejezzük occurs due to orthographic assimilation when adding the suffix to the stem. This form can appear in both declarative and hortative uses (the latter especially in proposals or plans).

Usage: Befejezzük is used to propose or state that the group should finish a task, project, meeting, or activity. It is common in meetings, work contexts, and informal conversation. The tone is collaborative and directive, often implying a plan to conclude something shortly.

Examples:

- Befejezzük a projektet ma. — Let us finish the project today.

- Befejezzük a megbeszélést. — Let us finish the meeting.

- Befejezzük csak, és utána pihenünk. — Let’s finish it, and then we’ll rest.

Related forms: befejezni (infinitive), befejezett (finished; past participle), and other person-specific forms such as befejezem (I finish) or befejezed (you finish).
