Gondolkodsz

Gondolkodsz is the second-person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb gondolkodni, meaning to think or to ponder. As a te-form construction, it is used when addressing someone informally. The form expresses thinking in the present, and can cover both ongoing thought and general thinking.

Morphology and usage: gondolkodsz is built from the stem gondolkod- and the standard present tense ending for the second person singular. In Hungarian, the present tense often serves for habitual actions as well as for actions occurring at the moment of speaking, so gondolkodsz can mean you are thinking right now or you think in general. It is commonly used in questions and statements addressed to the listener, such as requests for reflection or confirmation.

Examples:

- Gondolkodsz rajta? Are you thinking about it?

- Gondolkodsz egy kicsit, mielőtt döntesz. Please think about it a little before you decide.

- Nem gondolkodsz elég mélyen ezen a problémán? Aren’t you thinking about this problem enough?

Etymology and related forms: gondolkodsz derives from gondolkodni, the verb meaning to think or to ponder. Related forms include gondolkodik (he/she/it thinks) and gondolkodás (thinking, the act of thinking). The word is a common part of everyday Hungarian and appears in both casual speech and written text.

Notes: As a second-person present form, gondolkodsz is primarily used when speaking directly to someone else in informal contexts. It is not appropriate in formal address, where the te-form would be avoided in favor of the ön form.
