ellenálljon

ellenálljon is a Hungarian verb form, specifically the third-person singular present subjunctive of the verb ellenállni, meaning to resist or withstand. It is used in dependent clauses introduced by the conjunction hogy to express a wish, obligation, or hypothetical action, often in formal or literary contexts. For example: Azt szeretnénk, hogy ellenálljon a nyomásnak. Fontos, hogy ellenálljon a kísértésnek.

Etymology and construction: the verb ellenállni is built from the prefix ellen- meaning against and the verb állni, to stand. The subjunctive form ellenálljon adds the standard -jon/-jen suffix for third-person singular, with the choice of -jon here guided by vowel harmony in Hungarian phonology.

Grammatical notes: ellenálljon is not an imperative form; imperative equivalents would be elleneállj or ellenállj for the second-person, depending on usage. The present subjunctive combines with many auxiliary verbs or introductory phrases to express wishes, recommendations, or hypothetical scenarios, such as "hogy ellenálljon" or "úgy legyen, hogy ellenálljon."

Usage considerations: as a formal construction, ellenálljon appears mainly in written, administrative, or argumentative prose. In everyday speech, speakers may use simpler periphrastic expressions or replace the subjunctive with indicative forms where appropriate, though the subjunctive remains correct in the right formal context.
