felejtsetek

Felejtsetek is a Hungarian verb form that functions as the second-person plural imperative of felejteni, meaning to forget. The form is built from the verb stem felejt- and the plural imperative suffix -setek, marking a command addressed to multiple people. It is one of several ways Hungarian can express a directive to forget something, depending on register and regional usage.

In standard modern Hungarian, the more common imperative for a group to forget something is felejtsétek el (forget it). Felejtsetek appears in some dialects, older texts, or stylistic writings, and may also be found in constructions that emphasize a strong or abrupt command. Speakers may encounter felejtsetek in literary dialogue or informal speech, where it can carry a slightly archaic or emphatic tone.

Related forms include felejtsétek el, the more typical modern imperative for telling a group to forget, and elfelejtés, the noun form referring to the act or process of forgetting. The verb felejteni itself covers the general concept of forgetting, while felejtsetek specifically marks the imperative address to multiple people.

Usage of felejtsetek is governed by standard Hungarian punctuation and syntax rules for imperatives. It conveys a directive to discontinue remembering or to erase a memory, often in the context of changing topics, moving on from past events, or instructing a group to disregard certain information.
