álljuk

álljuk is a finite verb form in Hungarian. It is derived from the verb állni, meaning to stand. Grammatically, álljuk is the first-person plural present tense in the definite conjugation, used when the verb takes a definite direct object. This contrasts with the more common intransitive form állunk, which is used when no definite object is indicated.

Morphology and formation: the base stem is áll-, and the definite-object suffix -juk (with variants -jük depending on vowel harmony) is added to mark that the object is definite. In the present tense, the form for “we stand [it]” is realized as álljuk, reflecting the definite conjugation pattern. Other persons in the same tense would normally follow the corresponding definite suffixes (e.g., -od, -ja, -juk, -játok, -ják) depending on person and number, but the exact forms are rarely used in ordinary speech because áll is typically intransitive and not combined with a definite object.

Usage and context: the definite conjugation of állni is uncommon in everyday Hungarian. The standard, widely used form for “we stand” is állunk, without a definite object. The álljuk form appears mainly in specific, rare contexts—such as literary or highly formal language—where a definite object is present and the speaker wishes to mark it explicitly. Because of this limited usage, álljuk is generally unfamiliar to learners and not a frequent feature of contemporary colloquial Hungarian.
