folytatódhasson

folytatódhasson is a Hungarian verbal form used to express a wish or hope that something continues. It is derived from the verb folytatódik, meaning “to continue,” and is formed with the optative/subjunctive mood ending -hasson, giving it the sense of “may it continue” or “let it continue.” In usage, folytatódhasson functions as a formal or literary construction rather than a common spoken phrase.

Morphology and formation:

The form combines the stem folytatód- with the mood suffix -hasson, producing a third-person singular optative-like construction. This yields an action that is not stated as a factual continuation but rather as a desired or hoped-for outcome. The construction is part of Hungary’s rich system of mood endings that convey different attitudes toward the event described.

Usage and register:

folytatódhasson appears most often in formal writing, editorial language, or creative prose, where speakers seek to express a wish regarding ongoing processes, projects, or narratives. It can occur in headlines, official statements, or literary passages. In everyday speech, alternatives such as folytatódik legyen vagy reméljük, hogy folytatódik are more common, depending on the level of formality.

Examples:

- Reméljük, hogy a beszélgetés folytatódhasson a jövő hétben. (We hope that the discussion may continue next week.)

- A projekt célja, hogy a tárgyalások folytatódhasson folyamatosan. (The project aims for ongoing continuation of the negotiations.)

Note:

As a specialized grammatical form, folytatódhasson is best understood within the broader Hungarian mood system and is relatively uncommon in everyday conversation.
