Szerezzen

Szerezzen is a finite form of the Hungarian verb szerezni, meaning to obtain, acquire, or gain. It serves two grammatical functions: the third-person singular present subjunctive and the formal imperative singular.

Grammatical notes: The infinitive is szerezni; the present stem is szerez-. Szerezzen can appear in subordinate clauses after hogy to express wish or expectation, and it can also function as a polite command addressed to a single person in formal language. The form may be followed by a direct object, often with the prefix meg to indicate achieving or obtaining the object (for example, meg szerezni).

Usage: Szerezzen is common in formal or bureaucratic contexts, such as official correspondence, legal or administrative prose, and polite requests. In everyday speech, more direct or colloquial alternatives are typical, but szerezzen remains appropriate when a high level of politeness or formality is required.

Examples:

- Kérem, szerezzen meg egy példányt a jelentésről. (Please obtain a copy of the report.)

- Remélem, hogy szerezzen bizonyítékot a vizsgálathoz. (I hope that he/she may obtain evidence for the investigation.)
