helyezzék

Helyezzük is a Hungarian verb form that means “we place” or, in inclusive or hortative use, “let us place.” It is the present tense, first person plural indicative form of the verb helyezni, which means to place or position.

Grammatical notes: The form is built on the stem helyez- and is written with a double z, producing helyezzük. This spelling change occurs to ease pronunciation before the ending -ük/-ük/—in this case the ending is -zzük, yielding a form that agrees with the subject mi (we). The accompanying negative form is ne helyezzük el, for example, to express “let us not place it” or “we should not place it.”

Usage and examples: Helyezzük el a tárgyakat a polcon. This phrase translates roughly as “Let us place the objects on the shelf.” It is commonly used in instructional or collaborative contexts, such as guides, checklists, or team tasks. Another example: Helyezzük vissza a könyveket a helyükre, meaning “Let's return the books to their places.”

Etymology and related forms: Helyezni derives from the Hungarian stem helyez- built from the noun hely (place) with the verb-forming suffix -ez-, plus the infinitive -ni. Related nouns include helyzet (situation) and helyezés (placement). As a verb form, helyezzük is part of a set of present-tense endings that express person and number, with mi indicating the first-person plural.
