használjon

Használjon is a verb form of the Hungarian verb használn i meaning “to use.” It is the third-person singular formal imperative, used to address someone politely in formal speech or writing. In plural polite contexts, the corresponding form is használjanak. The form is common in instructions, guidelines, and official communications when directing a single recipient (Ön).

Morphology and usage: használjon functions as a direct command or request addressed to one person in a courteous register. It contrasts with informal imperative használj (you use) and with plural polite használjanak (you all use). In many practical texts, the imperative is preceded by a polite cue such as Kérem or Köszönöm.

Examples: Használjon védőfelszerelést. (Please use protective equipment.) Kérem, használjon ezt a szoftvert. (Please use this software.) In official documents, usarás a similar pattern to guide users or employees without using informal language.

Notes: The form is typical in service, safety, and instructional contexts where a respectful tone is required. The choice between használjon and használjanak reflects the number of recipients and the level of formality. For informal second-person singular, the form would be használj; for multiple recipients in informal speech, használjatok.

Etymology and relation: használjon derives from használni, meaning “to use.” It is part of the broader imperative system in Hungarian, which includes different forms for különböző személyek és módok (different persons and moods).
