Kezdesz

Kezdesz is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb kezdeni, which means to begin or to start. The verb kezdeni is common in everyday Hungarian and is used to indicate the initiation of an action or process. In present tense, the forms are: én kezdek, te kezdesz, ő kezdi, mi kezdünk, ti kezdetek, ők kezdenek. Thus kezdesz is used when addressing someone informally: you begin.

Kezdesz is typically followed by an infinitive to express that someone begins to perform that action. Examples: "Most kezdesz enni." (Now you start eating.) "Kezdesz dolgozni?" (Are you going to start working?) The construction can convey immediacy or a sense of progression. For more formal or definite nuance, Hungarian can use megkezdeni, a perfective variant meaning to begin or to commence a task in a more formal sense.

Related forms and usage notes: The base verb kezdeni yields several present-tense forms: én kezdek, te kezdesz, ő kezdi, mi kezdünk, ti kezdetek, ők kezdenek. The noun corresponding to the concept of a start is kezdet (beginning); another noun form is kezdés, meaning the act of starting. The prefix meg- in megkezdeni adds a sense of completion or emphasis, as in "megkezdesz" or "megkezdeni a projektet" meaning to begin the project in a more formal or deliberate way.
