fizetne

Fizetne is a Hungarian verb form that marks the conditional mood. It is the third-person singular conditional form of the verb fizet, meaning to pay. In standard Hungarian, this form is used to express hypothetical situations, indirect speech, or polite requests, and it can also appear in subordinate clauses to indicate what would be done under certain conditions.

Morphologically, fizetne is built from the base verb fizet plus the conditional suffix -ne. The form corresponds to "he would pay" or, in formal address, to "you would pay" when the subject is the polite pronoun Ön. The 3rd person plural form is fizetnének, and related forms cover the other persons: fizetnék (I would pay), fizetnél (you would pay), fizetnénk (we would pay), fizetnétek (you would pay, plural), and fizetnének (they would pay).

Usage in Hungarian centers on hypothetical or polite contexts. It is common in indirect speech, conditional clauses, or when making courteous offers or requests. For example, Fizetne, kérem? translates roughly to "Would you be so kind as to pay?" or "Would you pay, please?" In written or formal language, the conditional form helps soften statements or present actions as contingent on another condition.

Fizetne is primarily a standard Hungarian construction and does not function as a separate lexical item beyond its grammatical role. It is typically taught alongside other conditional forms and is used across formal and informal registers where the speaker wishes to express potential payment under certain conditions.
