irányítunk

irányítunk is a Hungarian verb form, the first-person plural present tense of irányítani, meaning to direct, manage, or control. It translates to “we direct” or “we manage” and is used when the subject is a group undertaking a directing action.

Form and meaning: The verb irányítani originates from the noun irány (direction) plus the infinitive suffix -ítani. In the present tense, the root irányít- takes the personal ending -unk to form irányítunk. The form is typically used without an object, or with a direct object to specify what is being directed.

Usage: Irányítunk is common in contexts of leadership, project management, or organizational control. It can describe directing a team, overseeing a project, or managing operations. When referring to directing a specific thing, the object may be added, as in irányítjuk a projektet (“we direct/manage the project”).

Examples: For instance, Mi irányítunk egy projektet. This sentence means “We are directing a project” or more naturally, “We are directing the project.” Another example is Mindannyiunk feladata, hogy irányítunk egy csapatot, though more idiomatic Hungarian would adjust the construction; in typical usage, one would say Mi irányítunk egy csapatot.

Etymology and related forms: The related noun irány means direction or lead, and related verbs include irányítani (to direct) and its other forms like irányítod (you direct) or irányítják (they direct). The stress generally falls on the first syllable, following standard Hungarian word stress.
