kötelezdni

Kötelezdni is not a standard infinitive form in Hungarian. The correct, widely used verb is kötelezni, meaning to obligate, bind legally or morally someone to do something. If you encounter the form kötelezdni, it is usually a nonstandard, dialectal, or mistaken variant rather than a recognized grammatical form in contemporary Hungarian.

Kötelezni is a transitive verb and typically governs a direct object representing the person or entity to be bound and an infinitival clause indicating the obligation, or it can take a reflexive construction to indicate self-obligation. For example: “A szerződés kötelezi a feleket a teljesítésre.” (The contract obligates the parties to perform.) “Ő kötelezi magát a határidők betartására.” (He obligates himself to meet the deadlines.) The verb expresses duty, legal obligation, or moral binding.

Etymology derives from kötele- (to bind) with the -zni infinitive, forming a verb that denotes imposing an obligation or duty. Related lexical items include kötelezettség (obligation), kötelező (mandatory, obligatory), and the adjective/koun structure kötelezett (obliged) or kötelezettséget vállal (to undertake an obligation). The concept is central in legal, contractual, and formal contexts, where parties are bound by terms, laws, or agreements.

See also sections in dictionaries and encyclopedias often cover kötelezett, kötelezettség, and kötelező környezetek, illustrating how obligation functions in law, contracts, and civic life. While kötelezni remains the standard verb, awareness of nonstandard variants can be relevant for linguistic discussion or regional usage notes.
