Értékelje

Értékelje is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb értékelni, meaning to evaluate or assess. It is not a noun or a separate lexical item, but a finite verb form used in formal address and in certain subordinate clauses. The form serves two main functions: it can be used as a formal imperative when addressing a single listener (Ön), and it can appear as the present subjunctive in clauses introduced by hogy or in indirect speech.

Formal imperative use: Értékelje is the polite command form directed at one person. It corresponds to "Please evaluate" in English. Typical constructions include "Kérem, értékelje a jelentést" (Please evaluate the report). The form signals request or instruction in a courteous register and is common in business, official correspondence, and customer service.

Subordinate clause use: In clauses that express wish, necessity, or reported speech, the form can appear as the present subjunctive, as in "Azt szeretném, hogy értékelje a helyzetet" (I would like him/her to evaluate the situation). In these contexts, értékelje does not function as a direct command but as a mood-marked form within a complex sentence.

Relation and related forms: The verb's root is értékelni; related nouns include értékelés (evaluation, assessment). Other conjugations form the indicative and other moods: értékel, értékeli, értékeljük, etc. The exact morphological alignment follows standard Hungarian verb conjugation rules, with the -je suffix indicating the present subjunctive or the formal imperative depending on context.
