Megnyomjátok

Megnyomjátok is a Hungarian verb form, specifically the second person plural present indicative of megnyomni, meaning “you all press” or “you all push.” It is used for transitive actions involving pressing something, such as a button, key, or switch, and appears in instructions, manuals, and everyday speech addressed to multiple people.

Etymology and morphology: The form comes from nyomni, “to press,” with the prefix meg- adding a sense of completion or result. The present tense second person plural ending is -játok, attached to the stem megnyom-, yielding megnyomjátok. The word is written as a single unit, with the usual Hungarian spelling rules applying.

Usage: Megnyomjátok is used when addressing more than one person in a declarative or instructional context. It is not the singular imperative; for commands directed at multiple people, Hungarian typically uses nyomjátok meg (press it). The object often follows directly: A gombot megnyomjátok (You all press the button).

Examples:

- Megnyomjátok a gombot, és a készülék elindul. (You all press the button, and the device starts.)

- Megnyomjátok-e ezt a gombot? (Will you all press this button?)

- A képernyőn megnyomjátok a gombot a folytatáshoz. (On the screen you press the button to continue.)
