Szolgáltassanak

Szolgáltassanak is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb szolgáltat, meaning to provide or to render (a service). It is the present tense, third-person plural form in the subjunctive mood (also described as a jussive or hortative form in some grammars). This mood is used to express wishes, requests, or obligations in dependent clauses, rather than simple factual statements.

In usage, szolgáltassanak appears predominantly in formal, legal, or bureaucratic language. It commonly occurs after conjunctions such as hogy, in polite requests, or in normative text where a supplier or service provider is being instructed or asked to act. For example: Kérjük, hogy szolgáltassanak részletes információkat a szerződés feltételeiről. Here the clause expresses a request that multiple subjects provide information.

Morphology and related forms: the base is szolgáltat-, with the suffix -assanak to yield the third-person plural present subjunctive. The corresponding present indicative form is szolgáltatnak (they provide). Other subjunctive forms exist for different persons, such as szolgáltasson (he/she/it may provide) or szolgáltassunk (let us provide), depending on person and number.

Semantic nuance: szolgáltassanak conveys intention, obligation, or polite urging in formal contexts, rather than a simple factual action. In everyday Hungarian, the indicative szolgáltatnak is more common for stating that a group provides a service.
