válaszoljatok

Válaszoljatok is the second-person plural present imperative form of the Hungarian verb válaszolni, meaning "to answer" or "to respond." It is used to address a group and command or request that they provide an answer. The form is common in classrooms, meetings, online discussions, and any situation where multiple people are being instructed to respond.

Morphology and usage: válaszoljatok is formed by taking the stem válaszol- and attaching the imperative plural suffix -jatok. The inflected form carries ti (you, plural) in its meaning, without requiring an explicit subject. The corresponding formal/plural polite imperative is válaszoljanak, used when addressing many people in a respectful or formal context.

Usage notes: The phrase can pair with direct objects or complements, as in válaszoljatok a kérdésekre (answer the questions). It also appears in negative form: ne válaszoljatok (do not answer). In written instructions or procedural text, válaszoljatok helps direct a group to provide information or confirmations.

Examples: Válaszoljatok a kérdésre! Válaszoljatok minél hamarabb. A tanár a diákokhoz szól: válaszoljatok a felvetett problémára.
