nyerjenek

Nyerjenek is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb nyerni, meaning to win. It is the third-person plural present subjunctive, also used hortatively to express a wish or a tentative outcome: let them win or may they win. In the full system of the present subjunctive forms, nyerjenek corresponds to the 3rd person plural form; related forms include nyerjek (1st person singular), nyerj (2nd person singular), nyerjen (3rd person singular), nyerjünk (1st person plural), and nyerjetek (2nd person plural).

Morphology and usage: nyerjenek is formed from the stem nyer- with the suffix -jenek, following Hungarian vowel harmony and consonant rules. The form appears in subordinate clauses introduced by hogy (that) or in hortative constructions where a wish or instruction to a group is expressed. It is common in formal, literary, legal, or ceremonial language and is also used in sports rhetoric or public announcements when addressing a group.

Examples:

- Remélem, hogy nyerjenek a csapatok. (I hope that the teams win.)

- Nyerjenek minél több pontot! (Let them win as many points as possible.)

- A tanácsosok úgy döntöttek: nyerjenek a befektetők. (The councilors decided: may the investors win.)

Notes: nyerjenek is not typically used in everyday casual speech; in ordinary conversation, speakers more often use indicative or other moods. The form is primarily found in formal writing, speeches, or ceremonial contexts where exhortation or wishful statements are appropriate.
