kerüljön

Kerüljön is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb kerül. It constitutes the third-person singular present subjunctive (often used in formal or optative constructions) of kerül. The base verb kerül has several related senses, including “to go around / circumvent,” “to cost / require,” and “to be placed or to end up somewhere.” The subjunctive form kerüljön is therefore applicable across these senses when the speaker expresses a wish, a condition, a recommendation, or a formal directive.

In use, kerüljön appears primarily in formal, administrative, or legal language to indicate that something should happen or be arranged. It is common in subordinate clauses or in be-and-do constructions where the speaker softens a request or frames a requirement without a direct imperative. Examples include sentences such as “A javaslat kerüljön a képviselő-testület elé jóváhagyásra,” meaning “Let the proposal be submitted to the representative body for approval.” Another example is “Hadd kerüljön megoldva a probléma,” roughly “Let the problem be resolved.”

Phonology and spelling follow standard Hungarian conventions, with the form kerüljön pronounced roughly as [ˈkɛrʏjːøn]. The form is distinct from unrelated words with similar spelling, such as kerület, which refers to a district and is not a verb form.
