pumpálunk

Pumpálunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning "we pump." It is the 1st person plural present indicative form of the verb pumpálni, which denotes the act of moving liquids or gases by means of a pump or pump-like device. In everyday and technical language, pumpálni covers actions such as pumping water, fuel, air, or other fluids, as well as inflation tasks or circulation in a system. The sense can be literal or metaphorical; for example, one might speak of pumping money into a project or pumping up excitement.

Origin and formation: The infinitive pumpálni is built from the stem pumpál- with the -ni infinitive suffix. The stem itself is derived from the noun pumpa (pump). The noun pumpa is a common Hungarian loanword for a device that creates flow and is cognate with similar terms in other languages, often linked to German Pumpe in technical vocabulary.
