Kattints

Kattints is a Hungarian verb form used primarily as an imperative or instruction in the context of digital interfaces. It translates loosely to “Click!” or “You click,” and is commonly seen in user prompts and tutorials. The word is closely connected to the noun kattintás, which means “a click” or “the act of clicking.”

Origin and usage: Kattints is a product of the widespread adoption of English computing terminology into Hungarian. The verb appears frequently in UI copy, help texts, and online guides to direct users to perform a clicking action. Common phrases include “Kattints ide” (Click here) and “Kattints a gombra” (Click the button). Because it is straightforward and action-oriented, it is a standard choice for button labels and instructional text.

Grammar and forms: In Hungarian, kattints is the second-person singular imperative form of the verb kattintani, meaning to click. The word demonstrates typical Hungarian verb behavior, with additional forms used for other persons and tenses (for example, “kattintok” for “I click” and “kattintasz” for “you click”). The imperative form is especially common in on-screen guidance and quick-start instructions.

Context and relevance: In modern Hungarian, kattints exemplifies how digital language and English loanwords are integrated into everyday usage. It remains a clear, direct instruction for performing a common computer interaction, while also appearing in branding or campaign contexts where concise action cues are desired. Related terms include kattintás (the noun for a click) and kattintó (one who clicks).
