tapadjon

Tapadjon is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb tapad, meaning to adhere or to cling. It is used as a finite form that expresses a wish, a suggestion, or a formal command, rather than as a standalone lexical item. In linguistic terms, tapadjon represents the present subjunctive (jussive) form of tapad, and it can function in both subordinate clauses and as a polite imperative.

Morphology and usage details

Tapadjon is formed by taking the stem tapad- and adding the third-person singular subjunctive/imperative suffix -jon. This form is employed to convey a wish, a request, or a directive directed at a third party, and it can appear in formal or literary contexts. In everyday speech, Hungarian speakers more commonly use other moods or constructions, while tapadjon appears in formal addressing, prescriptions, or proverbial language.

Examples

- Tapadjon a ragasztó a felülethez. (Let the glue adhere to the surface.)

- Tapadjon ez a terv, és legyen hatékony. (Let this plan stick and be effective.)
