ülök

Ülök is a Hungarian verb meaning “I sit” or “I am sitting.” It is the first person singular present indicative form of the verb ülni (to sit). The verb is intransitive, describing a person's position or action without a direct object.

Etymology and forms: The base is ül-, with typical present-tense endings in modern Hungarian. The present indicative forms are: én ülök, te ülsz, ő ül, mi ülünk, ti ültök, ők ülnek. The word also yields related forms such as ülő (sitting, as an adjective or participle) and ülés (the act of sitting or, in some contexts, a sitting session).

Usage: Ülök is used to describe a current state or ongoing action of sitting. It appears in everyday speech and can be combined with locative expressions to indicate where someone sits, e.g., Ma az ablaknál ülök. The verb forms the basis for more complex tenses and moods through regular affixation and auxiliary use in Hungarian.

Related terms: Ülő is the participle form meaning “sitting.” Ülés refers to the act or practice of sitting and, in political contexts, to a formal sitting or session (e.g., a parliamentary sitting). Ülőhely denotes a seat or place to sit. These derivatives help express arrangements, positions, and events involving sitting.
