nekünk

Nekünk is a Hungarian personal pronoun meaning "to us" or "for us," used to mark the dative (indirect object) role for first person plural. It is the dative form of mi (we) and appears in sentences that indicate giving, receiving, benefit, possession in existential constructions, or perspective. Examples include "Adj nekünk kenyeret" ("Give us bread") and "Nekünk ez fontos" ("This is important to us").

Formally, nekünk combines the pronominal base with the dative suffix -nek/-nak and follows Hungarian vowel harmony; stress is on the first syllable and the vowel ü is pronounced like the German ü. In syntax, nekünk may function as an independent pronoun for emphasis or contrast and can appear in clitic-like positions when unstressed. It also participates in constructions that express possession from the experiencer’s viewpoint (for example, "Nekünk nincs autó" — literally "To us there is no car," meaning "We do not have a car").

Nekünk is a common, grammatically central element of Hungarian and is used in both formal and colloquial registers. Its use is governed by standard rules of Hungarian pronominal inflection and word order.
