Teljesülend

Teljesülend is a non-finite verb form in Hungarian, derived from the verb teljesül, meaning “to be fulfilled” or “to come true.” It functions as an adverbial or participial form, typically used to express a sense of purpose or eventual realization in a formal or literary style. In many contemporary contexts it is encountered as part of older or more literary constructions and is less common in everyday speech.

Morphology and construction: The form is built from the verb stem teljesül with a suffix that marks a present-participle or infinitive-like function. In standard modern usage these ideas are often rendered with the longer periphrastic constructions (for example, with attenuated clauses using hogy teljesüljön or the participial -endő form). The bare form teljesülend is thus primarily observed in historical texts, scholarly descriptions of Hungarian grammar, or stylistic registers that aim for a classical tone. Related forms include teljesülő (present participle) and teljesülendő (to be fulfilled), the latter being the more common contemporary equivalent used to describe something that should or will be fulfilled.

Usage and register: Teljesülend appears mainly in literary, legal-historic, or pedagogical contexts. It is generally considered archaic or highly formal in modern Hungarian. For most practical purposes, speakers substitute with periphrastic constructions (such as “hogy teljesüljön”) or with more common participial forms (teljesülő, teljesült) depending on tense and aspect.

Translation notes: In English, the sense conveyed is close to “to be fulfilled,” “in order to be fulfilled,” or “so that it may be realized,” depending on syntax. The exact rendering depends on the surrounding clause and the intended nuance.
