alkalmazkodjatok

Alkalmazkodjatok is the second-person plural imperative form of the Hungarian verb alkalmazkodni, meaning to adapt or adjust to circumstances. It is used to address a group and urge them to modify their behavior or approach to fit new conditions. The form combines the stem alkalmazkod- with the 2nd person plural imperative ending -jatok.

Usage and nuance: The expression is common in educational, organizational, and public discourse when guidance is given to respond to change, such as new rules, work environments, or social circumstances. It is typically followed by phrases like a körülményekhez (to the circumstances) or a helyzethez (to the situation). The directive emphasizes flexibility and cooperation and is often contrasted with resistance. The negative form ne alkalmazkodjatok means “do not adapt yourselves.”

Examples: Alkalmazkodjatok a változásokhoz, és keressétek az új lehetőségeket. (Adapt yourselves to the changes and seek new opportunities.) Alkalmazkodjatok a körülményekhez a munkarend megváltoztatásakor. (Adapt yourselves to the circumstances when the work schedule changes.)
