alkalmazkodjanak

alkalmazkodjanak is the third-person plural present subjunctive (jussive) form of the Hungarian verb alkalmazkodni, which means to adapt, adjust, or accommodate to conditions, circumstances, or other people. This form is used in clauses expressing wishes, recommendations, or hypothetical situations directed at multiple subjects, and it often appears in formal or normative contexts such as guidelines, official statements, or policy language.

In usage, alkalmazkodjanak typically occurs in subordinate clauses introduced by verbs of suggestion, requirement, or expectation, or after introductory phrases that aim to influence behavior. It denotes that the subjects should or ought to adapt rather than describing a statement of fact. The form contrasts with other moods and tenses of the same verb, such as alkalmazkodnak (they adapt, indicative) or alkalmazkodjak (I should adapt, first-person present subjunctive).

Common contexts include public administration, organizational rules, or cooperative settings where participants are expected to conform to new requirements or changing conditions. Examples include sentences like: Az érintettek alkalmazkodjanak a megváltozott körülményekhez. Kérjük, hogy a dolgozók alkalmazkodjanak az új rendeletekhez. Ezek a kifejezések a közös érdek hangsúlyozásával szöveg-/dokumentumközpontú nyelvet tükröznek.

Etymology-wise, alkalmazkodni is formed from the root alkalmazkod- plus -ni, with -janak the plural present subjunctive suffix. The form is characteristic of Hungarian modal or hortative expressions and is most common in formal or normative prose.
