tanulj

Tanulj is the imperative form of the Hungarian verb tanulni, meaning “to learn.” It is used to address someone informally in the second person singular, functioning as a direct command or encouragement: for example, “Tanulj!” translates roughly as “Learn!” More fully, it appears in phrases such as “Tanulj magyarul” or “Tanulj meg programozni.”

Grammatically, tanulj is the second-person singular imperative form derived from the verb stem tanul-. In polite or formal address, the corresponding form is tanuljon, and for addressing several people or a formal group, tanuljatok can be used. The negative command is Ne tanulj (“do not learn”).

Usage and context: tanulj is common in educational settings, motivation, and self-improvement contexts. It often appears in instructional materials, slogans, or casual encouragement to acquire new skills, languages, or crafts. It can be combined with other verbs to convey specific objectives, such as tanulj meg valamit (“learn how to do something”) or tanulj tovább (“keep learning”).

Notes: tanulj is not a noun or proper name; it is a verb form used to issue an informal imperative. It reflects Hungarian imperative mood and is characteristic of direct address in instructional or motivational discourse. For related forms, see tanulni (the infinitive) and tanul (the present tense form meaning “learn/learns”).
