Gyorsítsd

Gyorsítsd is a form of the Hungarian verb gyorsítani, meaning to speed up or to accelerate. It is the second-person singular imperative (felszólító mód), used to tell someone directly to make something go faster.

Morphology and formation: The imperative is derived from the stem gyorsít- and the suffix -sd, yielding gyorsítsd. This form is commonly used with separable prefixes, for example gyorsítsd fel, meaning “speed it up.” The particle fel is used to indicate acceleration of a process or movement, as in gyorsítsd fel a motort.

Usage and context: Gyorsítsd is employed in technical instructions, vehicle operation, sports coaching, and everyday speech when addressing a single listener. It conveys a direct order to increase speed or tempo. In formal or polite contexts, different forms are used, such as Gyorsítsa (you/one) or Gyorsítsák (they or plural polite), rather than the informal gyorsítsd.

Negation and related forms: The negative imperative is ne gyorsítsd, meaning “do not speed up.” Other related forms include the infinitive gyorsítani (to speed up) and the noun gyorsítás (speeding up, acceleration).

Examples: Gyorsítsd fel a motort. Gyorsítsd meg a futás tempóját. In music or performance contexts, it can appear as a directive to increase tempo or pace.

Etymology and linguistic notes: Gyorsítsd combines gyors, meaning fast, with the infinitive suffix -ítani and the imperative suffix -sd, illustrating Hungarian felszólító mód for a singular informal subject.
