kezeljünk

Kezeljünk is a form of the Hungarian verb kezelni, meaning to handle, manage, or treat. It is the first-person plural hortative mood, i.e., the “let us” form, used to propose a course of action by the speaker together with others: for example, “Kezeljünk ezt a feladatot” = “Let us handle this task.”

Grammatical notes: kezelo? The form is built from the verb stem kezel- with a linking consonant j and the plural suffix -ünk, yielding kez- el- j- ünk → kezeljünk. This construction is common in Hungarian for inviting collaboration or collective effort. It is typically found in planning, proposals, meeting minutes, manuals, and instructional or policy-oriented texts. In colloquial speech, speakers may prefer alternatives such as “Lássunk hozzá…” or “Fogjunk hozzá…” which convey a similar invitation to begin an action.

Usage and nuance: kezeljünk is most natural when the speaker wants to emphasize joint action and mutual responsibility. It can appear in contexts ranging from project planning to problem solving, risk assessment, or medical and technical teams outlining a course of action. Because it is a hortative form, it expresses suggestion or encouragement rather than a command.
