Alakítson

alakítson is a Hungarian verb form meaning “form, shape, or create,” and serves as the polite or formal imperative of the verb alakít. It is used when issuing a courteous instruction or request to someone addressed with the formal you (Ön/Önök). In everyday informal speech, other imperative forms would be used, such as alakítsd (you form) or alakítson meg? in more formal contexts.

Grammatical role and usage: alakítson is the imperative mood, specifically the formal imperative. It typically appears in sentences addressing a person or group with politeness or official distance. The form can govern actions such as planning, shaping, or creating something, and it may be complemented by particles or additional objects, e.g., Alakítson egy tervet a projekt számára (Please formulate a plan for the project) or Alakítson ki egy csapatot (Please form a team). The verb is transitive and can pair with various direct objects depending on the context.

Related forms: the base verb is alakít, with past tense alakított and subjunctive or conditional constructions built similarly. The noun alak means “form” or “shape,” and the related suffixes form other verbs such as átalakít (reform, transform) and alakítás (formation, shaping).

Etymology and meaning: alakít derives from the noun alak (form, shape) plus the causative/transitivizing -ít suffix, yielding the sense “to form” or “to shape.” The imperative alakítson follows standard Hungarian polite-imperative patterns, aligning with other verbs that form -jon/-jen or -son/-sen endings in the formal mood.
