Tüntesse

Tüntesse is a Hungarian verb form derived from tüntetni, meaning to display, reveal, or present information. In standard usage, tüntesse functions as the third-person singular present subjunctive form used in the formal imperative mood. It is employed to address a single person politely, often in official, administrative, or written contexts where a request is stated in a formal register. In English, it is typically rendered as “please display” or “please reveal.”

Usage and examples

Tüntesse fel is commonly used with a following object and, often, a prefix that indicates the action of presenting information. Examples in formal writing include: “Kérem, tüntesse fel a nevét és a lakcímét.” or “Kérjük, tüntesse fel a jelentésben szereplő adatokat.” In these contexts the speaker asks the addressee to present or disclose specific information.

Grammatical notes

Hungarian forms the formal imperative by the present subjunctive for the third person singular, so tüntesse operates similarly to other polite imperatives such as “tegye” (do) or “hívja” (call). The form agrees with a singular, formal addressee and is typical of administrative, legal, or instructional language.

Relation to related terms

The root tüntet- is connected to words like tüntetés, meaning demonstration or protest, which share the sense of showing or making something visible. Although related etymologically, tüntesse as a grammatical form is distinct from tüntetés as a noun for public demonstration.
