Kikapcsolsz

Kikapcsolsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning "you turn off" or "you disconnect." It is the second-person singular present indicative of the verb kikapcsolni, which denotes the action of turning off something that is on, such as a device, a light, or a function.

Etymology and grammar: The verb combines the prefix ki-, meaning "out" or "off," with kapcsol, derived from kapcsolni, "to connect" or "to switch on." The noun kikapcsolás refers to the act of turning something off. The opposite verb is bekapcsolni, meaning "to turn on," with bekapcsolás as its noun form. The base verb belongs to a common pattern in Hungarian where ki- indicates disconnection and be- indicates connection.

Usage and examples: Kikapcsolsz is used in literal contexts to describe turning off hardware or software. It can also appear in figurative senses related to disengagement or taking a break. Examples include: "Ma este minden értesítést kikapcsolsz?" (Tonight you turn off all notifications?), and the imperative "Kikapcsolj egy időre" (Turn off for a while). Past tense forms exist as well, such as "kikapcsoltál" (you turned off). The form is frequently heard in everyday conversation about managing devices, screens, or attention.

The verb has other person and tense forms, such as kikapcsolok (I turn off) and kikapcsolja/kikapcsolják (he/she/they turn off). In addition, "kikapcsolódik" can mean to unwind or detach in a reflexive sense.
