beavatkozzanak

Beavatkozzanak is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb beavatkozni, meaning to intervene or to interfere. It is the third-person plural present subjunctive (also described as the jussive mood) and is used to express a wish, possibility, or hypothetical action by multiple subjects. In sentences it often follows a conditional or reporting frame, such as after words like hogy or after verbs of desire or suggestion.

Morphology and formation: The infinitive beavatkozni combines the prefix be- with the root avatkoz/kozz- and the suffix -ni. The present subjunctive feminine? No; in this case the third-person plural present subjunctive takes the ending -janak/-jenek, and for stems ending in -kozz- the form becomes beavatkozzanak. The spelling reflects Hungarian phonology and orthography, with a double z in the stem.

Usage and context: Beavatkozzanak appears mainly in formal, legal, or literary contexts, and is more common in written Hungarian than in casual speech. It conveys that an intervening action is to be performed by a group of agents under a hypothetical or desired scenario. It often occurs in clauses introduced by hogy or in reported statements about what should or could happen.

Example: A nemzetközi közösség arra kéri a feleket, hogy beavatkozzanak a konfliktusba. This translates roughly as: “The international community asks the parties to intervene in the conflict.” In everyday language, speakers may opt for simpler constructions, whereas beavatkozzanak remains a standard subjunctive option in formal writing.
