eladjon

Eladjon is a Hungarian verb form derived from eladni, meaning to sell. It is the third-person singular present subjunctive (optative) form of eladni, used in subordinate clauses after conjunctions such as hogy to express wishes, requests, recommendations, or hypothetical actions.

Formation and morphology: The form is built from the stem elad- plus the subjunctive suffix -jon, yielding eladjon. The suffix follows Hungarian vowel harmony rules, so the back-vowel stem yields -jon. The pronunciation centers on the syllable elad-jon, with the stress typically on the first syllable of the word.

Usage: Eladjon appears most often in formal, literary, or legal language, especially after verbs of desire, necessity, or command that introduce a subordinate clause with hogy. For example, Szeretném, hogy eladjon ezt a terméket means “I would like him to sell this product.” In everyday speech, speakers more commonly use the conditional eladna or restructure the sentence to avoid the subjunctive, such as ha eladna ezt a terméket or a more direct form.

Relation to other moods: Eladjon contrasts with eladja (present indicative: he sells) and eladna (conditional: he would sell). It is also distinct from the infinitive eladni and from participial or past forms such as eladott.

Notes: The form is characteristic of Hungarian subjunctive or optative usage and illustrates how mood and modality are conveyed in subordinate clauses. Its occurrence reflects formal register, particularly in written language or careful speech.
