köszöntek

Köszöntek is a Hungarian verb meaning "I thank" or "we thank." It is the first-person singular and first-person plural present tense form of the verb "köszön." The verb "köszön" itself is derived from the Proto-Finno-Ugric root "*köśe-," meaning "to greet" or "to salute."

In Hungarian, "köszönök" is used to express gratitude. For example, "Köszönök szépen!" translates to "Thank you very much!" The verb is also used in the context of greetings. When meeting someone, Hungarians typically say "Jó napot kívánok," which means "I wish you a good day." In response, one might say "Köszönöm," acknowledging the greeting.

The verb "köszön" is highly versatile and can be conjugated in various tenses and moods to express different nuances of thanks or greeting. However, "köszönök" specifically refers to the act of thanking or greeting performed by the speaker or the speaker's group. It is a fundamental part of everyday polite interaction in Hungarian culture.
