tartunk

Tartunk is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb tartani, meaning to hold, keep, maintain, or host. It indicates that the action is performed by the speaker together with at least one other person in the present. In everyday use, tartunk can express physically holding an object, organizing or hosting an event, or maintaining a state or relationship when used with a suitable object or complement.

Grammar and usage: Tartunk agrees with the subject mi (we). It is the present-tense form of tartani; other present-tense forms include tartok (I hold), tartasz (you hold), tart (he/she holds), tartotok (you all hold), tartanak (they hold). The infinitive is tartani; the past tense forms include tartottam (I held), tartottunk (we held). The form tartunk is most common in declarative sentences such as “Tartunk egy megbeszélést” (We are holding a meeting) or similar constructs in which a direct object or event is being held or kept.

Notes on usage: Tartunk is versatile and appears in contexts ranging from physical possession to organizing activities or maintaining ongoing arrangements. When describing the duration of an event, the root form tart is used instead (for example, “az esemény két órát tart” means “the event lasts two hours”). The verb tartani is a common, everyday verb and forms the basis for many related expressions and participles.
