Kanyarodsz

Kanyarodsz is the second person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb kanyarodni, meaning to turn or bend. It is used to describe the act of turning, especially when giving or stating directions, such as during driving or navigating a route. The subject of the sentence is implied to be the pronoun te (you).

The verb kanyarodni derives from kanyar, meaning a bend or corner, with the infinitive suffix -odni. It is a regular verb in its present tense conjugation: én kanyarodok, te kanyarodsz, ő kanyarodik, mi kanyarodunk, ti kanyarodtok, ők kanyarodnak. Its past tenses form with -tam/-tál/-ott etc., e.g., kanyarodtam, kanyarodtál. In everyday use it is intransitive, typically accompanied by directional or locational elements such as balra, jobbra, a kereszteződésnél, or similar phrases that specify the turning direction or destination.

Usage examples include sentences like "Balra kanyarodsz a kereszteződésnél," which means you turn left at the intersection. In questions one can ask, "Hova kanyarodsz?" meaning "Where are you turning?" The imperative form is kanyarodj (Turn!), used to issue a direct instruction, while negation uses ne kanyarodj.

Related terms include kanyar (bend or corner), kanyarodás (the act or process of turning or bending), and kanyarodó (turning, or a turning vehicle/feature acting as an adjective). These form a small semantic field around changing direction or trajectory in both literal and figurative contexts.
