Megszüntesse

Megszüntesse is a Hungarian finite verb form that serves as the present subjunctive of the verb megszüntetni, meaning to terminate, abolish, or discontinue. It is used to express a wish, instruction, or hypothetical action in formal or official contexts. The form can also function as a formal imperative in official language, where the subject Ön (you, formal) is understood, for example in directives or administrative instructions.

Morphology and usage notes: Megszüntesse is built from the prefix meg- plus the stem szüntet, with the endings of the present subjunctive. The subject is often implicit, such as in a directive addressed to a authority or official entity. In subordinate clauses introduced by hogy, it translates as “that he/she terminates” or “that you terminate” depending on the understood subject. In formal imperative usage, the same form can appear as a direct command: Megszüntesse ezt a gyakorlatot. The infinitive form is megszüntetni, and the noun form for the act is megszüntetés.

Etymology and related terms: The word megszüntesse originates from the prefixed verb megszüntetni, whose root szüntet means to cease or discontinue. Related terms include megszüntetés (cessation, abolition), megszüntetett (terminated/abolished, past participle), and szüntetni (to cease). The prefix meg- conveys completion or enactment of the action.
