nyilatkozzon

Nyilatkozzon is a Hungarian verb form that functions as the formal imperative of nyilatkozni, meaning to declare or to state. It is used when addressing a single person with the formal “Ön” pronoun, typically in official, legal, or administrative contexts. In informal speech the corresponding form is nyilatkozz, and for addressing several people one uses nyilatkozzatok (informal plural) or nyilatkozzanak (formal plural).

Grammar and formation: The form nyilatkozzon is derived from the stem nyilatkozz- with the suffix -on to create the third-person singular formal imperative. The spelling doubles the z before the suffix (nyilatkozzon). The verb is related to nyilatkozni (to declare) and to nyilatkozat (declaration), sharing the same semantic field of making a statement or assertion.

Usage: Nyilatkozzon appears mainly in official documentation, contracts, and formal communications, where a polite and formal tone is required. It is commonly found in requests such as “Kérem, nyilatkozzon az adatokról” (Please declare about your data) or “Nyilatkozzon arról, hogy…” The form conveys formality and legal seriousness; using it outside formal contexts may be perceived as odd or overly stiff.

Examples:

- Kérem, nyilatkozzon a személyazonosságáról.

- Nyilatkozzon írásban a vagyoni kijelentéseiről.
