Jelölje

Jelölje is a form of the Hungarian verb jelölni, meaning to mark, label, indicate, or designate. It is used as a polite imperative in formal contexts, such as instructions, forms, manuals, and official documents. In these settings it conveys a request or command directed at the reader or another addressee.

Usage and context: The form appears in instructional text and user guidance to prompt an action, for example to indicate a choice or to mark a field. Common sentences include requests like “Jelölje meg a megfelelő mezőt” or “Jelölje be az érintett opciót.” Because Hungarian distinguishes formal and informal registers, jelölje serves as the formal alternative to more casual imperatives.

Etymology and related forms: Jelölje derives from the verb jelölni (to mark, indicate). Related terms include jelölés, the act or result of marking or labeling, and jelölő, meaning a marker or indicator. These related forms appear in similar technical or procedural language.

Notes: Jelölje is primarily a grammatical tool for directing action in formal language. It is not typically used in casual speech, where informal imperatives or verb forms would be preferred. The word remains common in documentation, forms, and software interfaces that require polite user prompts.
