bocsássanak

Bocsássanak is a Hungarian verb form. It is the third-person plural, conditional mood, present tense, imperative form of the verb "bocsánni," which means "to forgive" or "to let go." Therefore, "bocsássanak" translates literally to "let them forgive" or "may they forgive."

This grammatical construction is used when addressing a group of people, commanding or requesting them collectively to forgive someone or something. It can also be used to express a wish or a hope that a group will forgive. The conditional mood indicates that the action of forgiving is contingent upon certain circumstances or is being presented as a hypothetical situation.

For example, in a religious context, one might say "Bocsássanak meg nekünk!" which means "May they forgive us!" or "Let them forgive us!" This is a plea for absolution directed towards a divine entity or a collective of people. In a more secular context, it could be used in a formal setting, like a judicial proceeding, where a judge might instruct a jury to consider forgiveness, though this usage is less common. The tone of "bocsássanak" is generally formal and carries a sense of entreaty or instruction.
