kötelezel

Kötelezel is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb kötelezni, meaning to obligate, bind, or commit someone to a duty or action. The word expresses that someone (you) impose an obligation or requirement on another person or party. Kötelezni is transitive, and its use commonly appears in contexts such as contracts, rules, or moral duties. The corresponding noun forms are kötelezettség (obligation) and kötelező (mandatory).

In contemporary Hungarian, kötelezel as a verb form is correct but relatively formal or literary and is not the most common everyday choice for all speakers. More frequent statements about obligation often use kötelez, köteleznek, or köteleztetik, depending on voice, mood, and tense. An example of usage is: A szerződés kötelez minket a feltételek betartására, meaning “The contract obligates us to comply with the terms.”

Etymology and related forms: kötelezni derives from a root related to köt, meaning “to bind.” The verb is connected to nouns and adjectives such as kötelezettség (obligation) and kötelező (mandatory). Related terms help express different facets of obligation, duty, and binding commitments.
