felmondani

Felmondani is a Hungarian verb meaning to resign from a job or to terminate a contract or lease. It is used when a person ends an employment relationship by giving notice, or when a party ends a contractual agreement. The sense of ending an arrangement is conveyed with the prefix fel- attached to mondani ('to say'), which in this verb yields a sense of completing or ending an obligation.

In employment, felmondani is transitive, taking the object of the terminated relationship or contract, for example: "Felmondtam a munkaviszonyomat" (I resigned). The related noun forms include felmondás (resignation/notice) and felmondási idő (notice period). Felmondani a szerződést is common, as in "felmondani a bérleti szerződést" (to terminate the lease).

Conjugation: felmondok, felmondasz, felmond, felmondunk, felmondtok, felmondanak; past tense felmondtam, felmondtál, felmondott, felmondtunk, felmondottatok, felmondtak. The phrase can be qualified with immediacy ("azonnali felmondás") or a required notice period ("felmondási idő").

Usage notes: in formal communication a written notice is typical, often containing the intended termination date and, if applicable, the last working day or contract end date. The term is neutral and widely used in workplace and legal contexts.
