Jósoltok

Jósoltok is the present tense, second person plural form of the Hungarian verb jósolni, meaning to predict or foretell. It is used when addressing multiple people who perform the action of predicting. The form reflects a regular verbal paradigm in Hungarian, with the stem jósol- plus the usual personal endings.

The basic present tense forms for jósolni are: én jósolok, te jósolsz, ő jósol, mi jósolunk, ti jósoltok, ők jósolnak. In the past tense, the verb forms are regular as well: én jósoltam, te jósoltál, ő jósolt, mi jósoltunk, ti jósoltatok, ők jósoltak. The infinitive is jósolni, and the past participle is jósolt, used in compound tenses or as an adjective meaning “predicted.” The imperative plural is jósoljatok, used to command multiple people to predict.

Usage notes: jósoltok describes an act of forecasting or prophesying and can be used in secular contexts (for example, predicting outcomes of events) as well as in contexts associated with divination or prophecy. In Hungarian, more formal or technical forecasting is often expressed with terms like előrejelzés or prognózis, while jósolni emphasizes the act of foreseeing, sometimes with a sense of conjecture rather than certainty. The word is commonly found in discussions of future events, speculative scenarios, or literary and rhetorical contexts.

Related terms include jóslat (a prediction or prophecy) and jóslás (the practice of foretelling). Jós is another root connected to fortune-telling, but jósolni specifically denotes the act of predicting.
