szánunk

Szánunk is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb szánni, meaning to devote, allocate, or set aside time, money, or other resources for something. It is used to express that a group, including the speaker, is dedicating resources to a task or purpose. Common usage patterns include időt szán vmire (to devote time to something) and pénzt szán vmire (to allocate money for something). The construction rá szán emphasizes directing effort specifically toward that task or objective.

Grammatical notes: szánni is a regular verb, and szánunk marks the present tense for the first-person plural. The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object in the accusative (for example időt, pénzt, energiát) or a noun phrase indicating what is being allocated. Example: Mi szánunk időt a projektre. In the past tense, forms are regular as well: szántam (I devoted), szántál (you devoted), szánt (he/she/it devoted), szántunk, szántatok, szántak.

Etymology and related facts: the word szánni derives from the Hungarian verb szánni itself, whose exact historical roots are not always clear. It should not be confused with unrelated homographs such as a noun meaning “sleigh” (szánkó), which has a different origin.
