örülök

Örülök is a Hungarian verb form that translates as “I am glad” or “I rejoice.” It is the first-person singular present indicative of the verb örülni, which expresses happiness or pleasure in response to a situation, news, or event. It is used to state a positive emotional reaction in the here and now.

Usage is common with a subordinate clause introduced by hogy to describe what one is glad about: Örülök, hogy eljössz. It can also take a dative object to indicate happiness for someone, as in Örülök neki (I am glad for him/her). The phrase is widespread in everyday speech and in writing, and it often introduces news or positive developments.
