tudjon

Tudjon is a Hungarian verb form derived from tudni, meaning “to know.” It is the third-person singular present subjunctive (subjunctive mood) of tudni and is used in clauses that express wish, possibility, doubt, or polite requests.

In Hungarian usage, tudjon mainly appears in subordinate clauses introduced by hogy to convey nuances such as desire or uncertainty. It is not typically used as an independent imperative; instead, imperative or directive force is expressed with other forms or through phrases that incorporate the subjunctive within a polite or formal context. The form also appears in fixed expressions used to request information or actions in a courteous register, for example in notices or formal correspondence.

Form and morphology: tudjon is formed from the stem tud- with the subjunctive suffix -jon, following Hungarian vowel harmony and consonant-friendly alternations. As a present subjunctive form, it reflects the speaker’s attitude toward the action rather than a direct assertion of fact.

Usage examples: “Kérjük, tudjon meg minden részletet.” (Please find out all the details.) “Reméljük, hogy tudjon segíteni.” (We hope that you may be able to help.) “Tudjon róla, hogy…” (Be aware of that…) These examples illustrate how tudjon functions within formal or conditional clauses to express request, possibility, or emphasis.
