Kapjon

Kapjon is a Hungarian verb form. It is the third-person singular present subjunctive (kötőmód) form of kapni, which means to receive. In Hungarian grammar, the present subjunctive is used to express wishes, hopes, possibilities, or hypothetical actions in subordinate clauses, often after verbs of wishing or in formal or literary style. For example: “Azt kívánom, hogy kapjon jutalmat” (I wish that he may receive a reward) or “Reméljük, hogy kapjon segítséget.”

Morphology and usage. The form is built from the stem kap- with the subjunctive suffix -jon, yielding kapjon for the third person singular. It appears most commonly in clauses introduced by hogy, such as “hogy kapjon” or in other contexts where a non-factual, desired, or potential event is discussed. In everyday speech, speakers more often use other constructions to express possibility or obligation, but kapjon remains standard in formal writing or certain literary styles.

Other notes. Kapjon does not function as a separate noun or independent lexical item; it is a finite verb form of kapni. While primarily a grammatical form, it may occur in various past or present contextual examples, always tied to the idea of receiving. It is related to other subjunctive forms of kapni and to the broader set of Hungarian mood forms used in subordinate clauses.
