vállalom

Vállalom is the first-person singular present tense of the Hungarian verb vállal, meaning to undertake, to assume responsibility, or to shoulder a burden. The verb stems from váll, meaning shoulder, and conveys the sense of taking on a task or obligation. In everyday and formal language, válallal is used to express a commitment the speaker makes or a responsibility they accept.

In use, vállalom appears in statements where a person declares their willingness to take on a duty or promise. Examples include: Én vállalom a feladatot. and Felelősséget vállalok érte. The expression is common in negotiations, contracts, and formal declarations, where one party explicitly states they will undertake certain actions or obligations. It can combine with other verbs to specify what is being undertaken or with állásfoglalás and kötelezettség to emphasize commitment.

Vállalom should be distinguished from related terms. The noun vállasment jár, no; more relevant are vállalás, meaning undertaking or commitment, and vállalat, meaning a company or enterprise, which are distinct words with different senses. The related nounvállalkozás refers to an enterprise or venture, not to the act of taking on a duty per se.

Notes on usage: the form vállalom is appropriate for first-person statements and can be used in both personal and formal contexts. It often appears in legal, business, or contractual language when a person or party commits to responsibilities, deadlines, or promises.

In summary, Vállalom centers on the speaker’s personal act of undertaking something, rooted in the imagery of bearing a burden or responsibility on one’s shoulders.
