Felkéri

Felkéri is a Hungarian verb meaning to request or to commission someone to perform a task, or to invite someone to participate in an activity. It is formed from the prefix fel- combined with the verb kér (to ask). The basic infinitive is felkérni, and the present tense third-person singular form is felkéri. The noun form felkérés refers to the act of inviting or commissioning, and felkérő denotes a person who makes such an invitation or appointment.

In usage, felkéri is employed in formal or official contexts to indicate that one person asks another to undertake a task. It commonly takes an object referring to the person being asked or commissioned, followed by an infinitive clause or a hogy clause that states the requested action. For example, felkéri a szakértőt, hogy készítsen egy értékelést means “The company commissions the expert to prepare an assessment,” and felkéri a beosztottat, hogy adjon be egy jelentést means “The boss asks the subordinate to submit a report.” A common respectful construction is Szeretném felkérni Önt, hogy legyen a projekt vezetője, meaning “I would like to invite you to lead the project.”

Felkérés, the noun, can denote the invitation or commission itself, while felkérő refers to the person who makes the invitation. The term is widely used in business, administration, and formal communication to denote delegation of responsibility or a formal invitation to participate in a task or role.
