Folytatódjak

Folytatódjak is a Hungarian verb form that corresponds to the first-person singular present subjunctive (jussive) of folytatódni, meaning “to continue.” It is formed from the stem folytatód- with the subjunctive suffix -jak, yielding folytatódjak. The related subjunctive forms include folytatódjon (third person singular) and folytatódjanak (third person plural), among others.

This form is used to express wish, desire, or hypothetical action in subordinate clauses, typically after the conjunction hogy or in hortative constructions with hadd. For example, hadd folytatódjak can be used to express a self-directed wish or determination in a formal or literary style: “Hadd folytatódjak a beszélgetés” (Let my conversation continue). Another possible use is in the clause “Remélem, hogy folytatódjak,” conveying a hopeful or tentative stance by the speaker.

In everyday spoken Hungarian, subjunctive forms such as folytatódjak are relatively rare and may be replaced by other constructions, depending on register and context. They are more commonly encountered in formal writing, literary language, or grammatical discussions of mood and verb forms.

Pronunciation follows standard Hungarian rules for the base verb with the added suffix, typically realized as folytatódjak [ˈfoljtatótd͡ʒɒk]. The form is primarily of interest to students of Hungarian grammar and those studying mood, optatives, and verb conjugation patterns.
