szólunk

Szólunk is the 1st person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb szólni, which means to speak, to tell, or to inform, and in some contexts to ring or sound. As a present-tense form, szólunk literally means “we speak” or “we tell.” In practical use, it is often employed to indicate that the speakers will communicate information to others, functioning in many contexts as “we’ll let you know” or “we will inform you.” The choice of meaning depends on the surrounding context and the object of the verb.

Morphology and usage notes: szólni is a regular Hungarian verb with the present-tense stem szól-. The ending -unk marks the first-person plural. Other present forms include én szólok, te szólsz, ő szól, ti szóltok, etc. The form szólunk is most common in statements about collective action or responsibility, especially in customer service, announcements, and informal coordination when a group commits to conveying information.

Etymology and related forms: szól originates from the base meaning related to speaking, telling, or sounding.
