Keresse

Keresse is a form of the Hungarian verb keresni, which means to search or look for. It is primarily used as the formal imperative form directed at a single person, in contrast to the informal imperative keresd, which is used with someone you know well. In formal or official language, keresse can appear in requests or instructions, roughly translating to “please search” or “please look for.”

In practical use, keresse appears in contexts such as official correspondence, customer service, or administrative requests. Example sentences include: “Kérem, keresse meg ezt a dokumentumot,” meaning “Please locate this document.” Another common construction is keresse meg… in which the speaker asks the addressee to find a specific item or piece of information.

Related Hungarian forms include keresés, the noun meaning “search” or “searching,” and kereső, which can function as both a noun meaning “search engine” or “seeker,” and as an adjective in compounds. The root keres- is shared across these forms and is a fundamental part of the verbs and nouns used to describe seeking or looking.

Keresse does not denote a separate entity or concept beyond its grammatical role in Hungarian. It is part of standard language usage and appears in both written and spoken formal Hungarian when directing someone to perform a search or lookup. See also keresni, keresés, and kereső for related terms.
