hangolunk

Hangolunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning "we tune" or "we adjust," used in present indicative. It is the first-person plural form of the infinitive hangolni, which denotes the act of tuning, aligning, or harmonizing something. The word can refer to practical activities such as tuning musical instruments or calibrating audio equipment, as well as to metaphorical processes like adjusting plans, expectations, or systems to fit a desired state.

Etymology and form: hangolni is built from hang- meaning sound or tone, combined with a productive verbal suffix to form an infinitive. Hangol, as the root, covers the act of bringing something into the right pitch, timbre, or alignment. Hangolunk thus expresses the action in the we-form. The present tense forms include hangolok, hangolsz, hangol, hangolunk, hangoltok, hangolnak; other tenses follow regular Hungarian conjugation patterns (e.g., hangoltam for “I tuned”).

Usage and examples: In music or audio contexts, one might say, "Ma este hangolunk egy gitárt" (We will tune a guitar tonight). In technical settings, "A rádiót hangoljuk át" (We tune the radio for clearer sound). Metaphorically, it can describe aligning a team or plan: "A csapatot a közös célhoz hangoltuk." Hangolás is the related noun meaning the act or process of tuning or harmonizing.
