Átadjuk

Átadjuk is a verb form in Hungarian, specifically the present tense, first-person plural of the verb átadni. It means “we hand over,” “we deliver,” or “we transfer” something to another person or entity. The action can involve physical objects, responsibilities, information, or authority.

Usage and nuance: Átadjuk is used when the speaker and others perform the act of handing over or entrusting something. It covers everyday situations, such as handing over keys, as well as formal or administrative contexts, like transferring documents or responsibilities to another party. The sense can range from a routine handover to a deliberate surrender or transfer of control.

Grammar and construction: The base verb is átadni, formed with the prefix át- to indicate transfer or crossing over. The form átadjuk attaches to the stem átad- with the plural first-person ending. Hungarian verbs of this type are transitive and require a direct object in the accusative (for example, a kulcsot = the key). The recipient is typically expressed with a dative or a prepositional phrase (e.g., a vezetőnek, a hatóságnak).

Related forms include átadás (the act of handing over), átadott (handed over), and the 3rd-person forms such as átadják (they hand over). Examples: Mi átadjuk a csomagot a futárnak. A jelentést átadjuk a főnöknek.

Átadjuk as a form thus encapsulates a deliberate transfer from the speaker’s group to another party, with broad applicability across everyday and formal contexts.
