küldjünk

Küldjünk is a Hungarian verb form that functions as the first-person plural hortative or optative of the verb küld, meaning “to send.” It is used to propose that the speaker and others perform the action together, roughly translating to “let us send” or “shall we send.”

Morphology and use: The form is created by taking the present tense stem küld and adding the suffix -jünk, yielding a inclusive, suggestive mood. It is distinct from küldünk, which is the present indicative form meaning “we send.” The diacritic ü in küldjünk is preserved in standard spelling.

Function in language: Küldjünk is employed to make a suggestion, plan, or invitation. It appears in both spoken and written Hungarian and can be used with a direct object, for example: Küldjünk egy e-mailt az ügyfélnek (Let’s send an e-mail to the client). It can also be formed into questions with the enclitic -e: Küldjünk-e egy levelet? (Shall we send a letter?)

Notes: This form is part of a broader pattern in Hungarian for forming hortative or inclusive imperatives in the 1st person plural, such as csináljunk (let’s do), vegyünk (let’s take), or írjunk (let’s write). The choice between küldjünk and other forms signals the speaker’s intention to engage the listener in a joint action.
