Jutalmazod

Jutalmazod is a Hungarian verb form. It is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb jutalmazni, meaning to reward, compensate, or grant a prize. It denotes that the subject you (informal, te) rewards someone or something. A typical usage is with a direct object: Te jutalmazod a gyerekeket. This form is used in everyday speech when addressing one person informally.

Origin and conjugation: The infinitive jutalmazni is built from the noun jutalom (reward) with the -ni suffix. The stem is jutalmaz-, and the present tense endings follow the standard Hungarian conjugation: -om for én, -od for te, -ja/-i for ő, -juk for mi, -játok for ti, -ják for ők. Therefore, te form is jutalmazod. In formal address, Hungarian uses the third-person form: Önt/Ön jutalmazza (you reward) and Önök jutalmazzák (you reward, plural).

Usage and nuances: Jutalmazod is used to describe rewarding someone for actions, achievements, or behavior, whether with material incentives or symbolic recognition. It commonly appears in contexts such as education, management, parenting, and competition. The related noun is jutalom (reward, prize), and the process/act is jutalmazás. Phrases include jutalmat adni (to give a reward) and jutalmazó magatartás (rewarding behavior). The term is neutral in tone, suitable for descriptive and instructional writing as well as everyday language. The concept can be extended metaphorically to rewarding non-material efforts or outcomes.
