Jelezhessék

Jelezhessék is a Hungarian verb form derived from jelezni, meaning to signal or indicate. It represents the third-person plural present subjunctive (optative) form, built from the stem jelez- with the suffix -hessék. This form is used in dependent clauses to express possibility, wish, or hypothetical action by a group, often in formal or literary contexts.

In practice, jelezhessék appears in sentences introduced by that-clauses (hogy) or in indirect speech to indicate what it would be possible or desirable for a group to do. The form marks the action as uncertain or contingent and is typically found in more formal registers, such as official guidelines, regulatory language, or scholarly writing. It is part of Hungarian mood and conjugation patterns that allow speakers to express nuanced attitudes toward potential events.

Examples:

- A kutatók úgy remélték, hogy jelezhessék az eseményeket. (The researchers hoped that they might signal the events.)

- A jelentés szerint a résztvevők jelezhessék a szükséges állapotváltozásokat. (According to the report, the participants may indicate the required state changes.)

Relation to other forms:

Jelezhessék contrasts with more concrete or certain mood forms, such as the indicative jelezhetik (they may signal) or the subjunctive variants like jelezzenek, which may appear in different syntactic or stylistic contexts. The presence of -hessék is a hallmark of the present subjunctive/optative mood in third-person plural for selected verb stems in Hungarian.
