Kiválogatsz

Kiválogatsz is a Hungarian verb meaning "you select" or "you choose" in the present tense. It is the second-person singular form of the verb *kiválaszt*, which translates to "to select" or "to choose" in English. The verb is commonly used in everyday conversation, formal contexts, and written language to describe the act of picking something or someone from a group.

The verb *kiválaszt* is derived from the prefix *ki-* (meaning "out" or "from") combined with the verb *választ* ("to choose"). This prefix indicates that the selection involves choosing someone or something specifically from a larger set. For example, *kiválaszt* can mean "to elect," "to pick out," or "to select for a particular purpose."

In Hungarian grammar, *kiválogatsz* follows the standard conjugation rules for verbs ending in *-sz* in the present tense. It is part of the second conjugation group, where the verb stem is modified by personal endings. The verb is transitive, meaning it requires a direct object to complete its meaning, such as *kiválogatsz egy helyet* ("you choose a seat") or *kiválogatsz a legjobbat* ("you pick the best one").

The verb is widely used in various contexts, including sports (e.g., *kiválasztják a csapatba* – "they select them for the team"), politics (e.g., *kiválasztják a képviselőket* – "they elect the representatives"), and everyday decisions (e.g., *kiválogatsz a ruháidból* – "you choose from your clothes"). It can also appear in passive constructions, such as *kiválasztott* ("selected"), which is often used in formal or written language.

While *kiválogatsz* is a straightforward verb, its usage can vary depending on the context, tone, and level of formality. In spoken Hungarian, it may be shortened or combined with other verbs for emphasis or clarity. The verb remains an essential part of Hungarian vocabulary for expressing choice and selection.
