Igazítsanak

Igazítsanak is a form of the Hungarian verb igazítani, meaning to adjust, align, or correct. Specifically, igazítsanak is the 3rd person plural present subjunctive (kötőmód jelen) of igazítani. This mood is used to express wishes, possibilities, or indirect commands, often in subordinate clauses, rather than as a direct imperative.

Usage and function

Igazítsanak appears in clauses introduced by szeretnék, kívánják, kérik, remélik, vagy similar verbs, to indicate that “they should” or “may they” adjust. It also occurs in hypothetical or reported statements. It is not the imperative form; the 2nd person plural imperative is igazítsatok, and the 3rd person singular present subjunctive is igazítson.

Examples

A megbeszélésen úgy fogalmaztak, hogy igazítsanak a protokollhoz. (The participants stated that they should adjust to the protocol.)

Remélem, igazítsanak a szabályokhoz. (I hope they adjust to the rules.)

A döntés szerint igazítsanak a költségvetéshez. (According to the decision, they should adjust to the budget.)

Grammar and morphology

The stem is igazít-, with the present subjunctive 3rd person plural ending -anak, yielding igazítsanak. The form reflects mood (subjunctive), number (plural), and person (third person). The verb belongs to the -ít- conjugation class, and its adjectives and nouns derive from the same root, such as igazítás (adjustment) and igazító (adjuster).
