tessenek

== Hungarian == === Etymology === tetszik +‎ -jenek (personal suffix) === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈtɛʃːɛnɛk] Hyphenation: tes‧se‧nek === Verb === tessenek alternative form of tetsszenek, third-person plural subjunctive present indefinite of tetszik (auxiliary, with a verb in the infinitive, plural addressee) please, would you?, kindly (in requests, esp. towards elderly people, clients, or by children towards adults, used as a polite alternative to the imperative mood) Tessenek helyet foglalni! ― Would you [guests] please take a seat? ==== Usage notes ==== Since the subject of tetszik is technically the action, not the person whom it pleases (see Usage notes there), a specified plural addressee would assume the dative case (-nak/-nek) with the singular form of the auxiliary verb: Tessék a hölgyeknek beljebb fáradni! ― Would the ladies please come in?
