Hungarian
Etymology
Of unknown origin. It is used in the subjunctive mode of jön (“to come”) instead of the regular subjunctive forms (except in formal, archaic style). Its more original, more archaic form may have been jerj. The leading j- → gy- assimilation is similar to jön → gyön, a dialectal variant. For the dropping of the final -j, compare eper, szeder.[1][2]
Pronunciation
Verb
gyere
- second-person singular subjunctive present indefinite of jön
- Gyere velünk! ― Come with us!
Conjugation
Only three forms are used: aside from the second-person singular form above, gyerünk (“let’s go”) and gyertek (“come!”, plural imperative). For all other forms (and the archaic, literary counterparts of these three forms), see the conjugation of jön.
