Fogyasszák

Fogyasszák is a Hungarian verb form used to issue a directive to a group. It is the third-person plural present subjunctive (hortative or jussive) form of the verb fogyasztani, meaning to consume or ingest. The form conveys a suggestion, instruction, or command addressed to multiple subjects, with meaning that can range from “let them consume” to “please consume,” depending on context.

The form is constructed from the stem fogyassz- with the suffix typically described as the third-person plural present subjunctive ending (-ák). It often appears in formal instructions, prescriptions, or contexts of indirect speech after verbs of saying or requirement, for example after hogy: “hogy fogyasszák el a tablettát” meaning “that they should take the tablet.”

Typical usage and nuances: fogyasszák is used when directing or advising a group rather than addressing a single person. It can be paired with separable prefixes to modify meaning, such as el to indicate completion (fogyasszák el a gyógyszert: let them take and finish the medication). The form appears in medical guidelines, recipes, safety notices, and other formal or instructional language.
