Eldöntesz

Eldöntesz is a Hungarian verb form. It is the second person singular present indicative of the verb eldönteni, which means to decide or determine something definitively. The prefix el- attaches to dönt, the root meaning to decide, and conveys a sense of completion or finality. The resulting form is used when addressing someone directly and indicating that the person is currently deciding or resolving a choice.

Usage and construction: Eldöntesz requires a complement that specifies what is decided. It can take a direct object, as in eldöntesz egy kérdést, or introduce a clause with hogy, such as eldöntesz, hogy melyik filmet nézzük, or eldöntesz, hogy eljössz-e. The form follows standard Hungarian agreement and is formed in parallel with the unprefixed döntesz for the second person singular.

Form and related terms: The infinitive of the verb is eldönteni. The noun form for the act or result of deciding is eldöntés. Like other prefixed verbs in Hungarian, eldönteni combines a root meaning with a prefix that can intensify or modify the nuance of the action.

Notes: Eldöntesz is primarily a transitive verb form and appears in both spoken and written Hungarian. It is part of the broader system of Hungarian verbs that use the prefix el- to express aspects related to completion or finality of an action. See also döntés and eldöntés for related concepts.
