dolgozzuk

Dolgozzuk is a Hungarian verb form derived from dolgoz (to work). It represents the 1st person plural form (we) within the definite-conjugation subset of the present tense. The form is used when the direct object of the sentence is definite, distinguishing it from the indefinite present form dolgozunk.

Morphology and formation: Dolgozzuk is formed from the verb stem dolgoz- by applying the definite-object conjugation pattern, which adds a suffix that signals a definite object. The result is a single word, dolgozzuk, that appears in contexts where the object is specified or known to the listener. This pattern is part of a broader system in Hungarian that contrasts definite and indefinite verb forms for transitive verbs.

Usage and register: In standard Hungarian, dolgozzuk is used in sentences where there is a definite object, such as when referencing a particular task or obligation that both speaker and listener recognize. In everyday speech, speakers may default to the indefinite form dolgozunk when the object is not specified or when the emphasis is not on definiteness. The definite form is more common in written text, formal speech, and instructional materials that discuss grammar or provide explicit object marking.

Relation to Hungarian grammar: Dolgozzuk illustrates the definite conjugation phenomenon in Hungarian verbs. This system coexists with the indefinite conjugation (e.g., dolgozunk) and is an aspect of how Hungarian marks transitive verbs for object definiteness.
