Viseljen

Viseljen is a Hungarian verb form derived from viselni, meaning to wear or to carry. It is the formal imperative singular, used when addressing one person with polite address. Its primary function is to issue a respectful instruction or request in formal speech, and it may appear in formal written or spoken contexts.

Grammatical notes and usage: the infinitive of the verb is viselni. The imperative forms in modern Hungarian include informal singular viselj, formal singular viseljen, informal plural viseljétek, and formal plural viseljenek. Viseljen is therefore used to tell a single person in a courteous register to wear something. The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object in the accusative when specifying what to wear, for example: Viselj sapkát. (Wear a hat.) Viseljen kesztyűt! (Please wear gloves.)

Examples and contexts: Viselj egy inget. (Wear a shirt.) Viseljen inget a találkozóra. (Please wear a shirt to the meeting.) Viseljétek ezt a sapkát. (Please wear this hat.) Viseljenek szemüveget az olvasáshoz, ha szükséges. (Please wear glasses for reading, if needed.) The formal imperative forms are commonly found in service encounters, medical guidance, official notices, or formal written instructions.
