Tiszteljetek

Tiszteljetek is a Hungarian verb form functioning as the second-person plural imperative of the verb tisztelni, meaning to respect or honor. It is used to urge a group of people to show respect toward someone or something. As an imperative, it conveys a directive or exhortation rather than a neutral statement.

In usage, tiszteljetek appears in formal or rhetorical contexts, such as speeches, instructions, or public discourse, where speakers address an audience. It can be followed by objects or phrases specifying what should be respected, for example, "tiszteljetek mindenkit" (respect everyone) or "tiszteljetek a törvényt" (honor the law). The form signals collective action by the addressed group and can carry a tone ranging from courteous to assertive, depending on context and delivery.

Related forms and notes on grammar include tiszteljünk (let us respect) for the first-person plural, tisztelje (let him/her respect) for the third-person singular, and tiszteljék (let them respect) for the third-person plural. The second-person plural imperative may appear in slightly different spellings in contemporary Hungarian, most commonly tiszteljetek or tiszteljétek, both understood to mean “you all respect.” The choice between spellings can be influenced by stylistic preferences or orthographic conventions, but both express the same grammatical mood and function.
