Megtelepedjen

Megtelepedjen is the present subjunctive (or formal imperative in certain constructions) form of the Hungarian verb megtelepedni, meaning “let him/her settle” or “may he/she settle.” The prefix meg- conveys completion or achievement, and telepedni means to settle, establish residence, or become integrated in a place or community. Combined, megtelepedjen denotes a hypothetical or desired action of establishing residence, often in formal or written contexts.

Usage and nuance:

Megtelepedjen is typically used in subordinate clauses after verbs of wishing, advising, requiring, or in formal documentation. It expresses a wish or possibility rather than a simple factual action. It is common in legal, political, migration, or policy language, as well as in literary or journalistic prose when describing potential settlement scenarios. The form may appear with hogy in sentences like: “A kiutazók közül néhányan megtelepedjenek az új országban” (May some of the emigrants settle in the new country).

Related forms:

The infinitive is megtelepedni; the noun form is megtelepedés (“settlement” or “establishment of residence”). Other related derivatives include megtelepedő (settling, settling down) and telepedés (the act or state of settling).
