Jössz

jössz is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb jönni, meaning “to come.” It is used when addressing the listener informally (te) and refers to the action of coming in the present tense.

Grammatically, jössz belongs to the present tense of jönni. The base form jön- appears in other persons as jövök (I come), jön (he/she comes), mi jövünk, ti jöttök, ők jönnek. The form jössz is created by adding the second-person singular ending -sz to the stem jön-. The infinitive is jönni. The word contains the vowel ö, reflecting Hungarian vowel harmony.

Usage notes include that jössz can function as a question or a statement depending on intonation. Examples: “Jössz velem a moziba?” (Are you coming with me to the cinema?), “Jössz hamar?” (Are you coming soon?). It is a common everyday expression in casual speech and informal writing. In formal contexts, the pronoun te is often omitted, and the verb form still conveys the second-person singular meaning.

Related forms and related verbs include the other present-tense forms of jönni, such as jövök, jön, jövünk, jöttök, jönnek. The imperative forms related to coming are jöjj és jöjjön, which differ from the second-person singular present jössz.
