Viseljék

Viseljék is a Hungarian verb form of the verb visel, meaning to wear or to bear. It is the third-person plural form in the present subjunctive mood (kötőmód, jelen idő). This form is used in dependent clauses introduced by hogy to express a wish, recommendation, or obligation, especially in formal, administrative, or instructional contexts. It is not an independent imperative; for direct commands to a group, other forms such as viseljétek are used.

Morphology and usage notes: viseljék is formed from the stem visel- with the subjunctive marker -j- and the plural ending -ék. The corresponding 3rd singular present subjunctive is viselje. The form follows Hungarian vowel harmony rules and appears in contexts where the speaker is expressing what ought to be worn by a plural subject.

Functional role: In official texts, regulations, or formal requests, viseljék conveys the sense of “they should wear” or “that they wear,” often in clauses after verbs of request, recommendation, or necessity. In everyday speech, speakers typically use other moods or direct plural imperatives such as viseljétek for explicit commands.

Examples:

- A rendelet szerint viseljék a védőfelszerelést. (According to the regulation, they should wear the protective equipment.)

- Kérjük, viseljék a maszkot belépéskor. (Please, wear the mask when entering.)
