Induljanak

Induljanak is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb indul, meaning to depart or to begin. It is the third-person plural present subjunctive (kötőmód) of the verb, and is also used as a formal directive addressing several people. The form is built from the stem indul- plus the subjunctive ending -janak.

In usage, induljanak conveys wishes, recommendations, or commands directed at a group, often in formal or ceremonial language. It is common in written instructions, public announcements, or official discourse where a collective action is proposed. The nuance is somewhat more distant and polite than a direct imperative but is understood as a directive for multiple people to act.

Morphologically, the pattern follows typical Hungarian third-person plural subjunctive endings, with -janak appearing on verbs whose stem ends in a consonant requiring a linking vowel. The stem may be modified by phonological rules of Hungarian pronunciation, but the core meaning remains “let them start” or “may they depart.”

Examples of usage include: Induljanak el minél hamarabb, hogy időben odaérjenek. This translates to “Let them depart as soon as possible so they arrive on time.” Another example is a ceremonial instruction: Induljanak a megnyitóra, és mutassák meg magukat a közönségnek.

Notes: Induljanak is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical entry, used to express collective wishes or directives in formal Hungarian.
