Befejezdjön

Befejezdjön is a Hungarian verb form derived from the infinitive befejezni, meaning to finish or to complete. It represents the third person singular present subjunctive (optative/hortative) mood and is created by attaching the suffix -djön to the stem befejezd-. The form can also be described as a phonologically adapted variant of the standard subjunctive endings used for third-person commands or wishes.

In use, befejezdjön expresses a wish, request, or instruction directed at another person, typically in formal or literary Hungarian. It appears most often in written language, set phrases, or subordinate clauses that convey a polite or ceremonial tone. In everyday speech, native speakers more commonly employ other forms such as befejezze or befejezzen, depending on the level of formality and the exact syntactic position.

Phonology and spelling notes: the -djön ending reflects assimilation to the preceding stem when it ends in a consonant, producing a form that is easy to pronounce in rapid speech. For many speakers, befejezdjön and befejezzen are close in meaning, with slight differences in register and stylistic nuance.

Related forms include befejezzen and befejezze, which are more widely used for the same general function of expressing a wish or polite command about finishing the action. The full paradigm of befejezni includes other moods and tenses, with befejezdjön occupying a narrow, formally marked niche within the language.
