Lassítsd

Lassítsd is a Hungarian phrase functioning as the imperative form used to address the second person singular. It comes from the verb lassít, meaning to slow down or decelerate. In everyday speech, Lassítsd translates to “Slow down” and is used to give a direct, informal command to someone you are speaking to.

In Hungarian, the te-imperative is used for casual or familiar address, and Lassítsd is typically followed by a direct object or an adverbial phrase indicating what should be slowed. Common examples include Lassítsd a sebességet! (Slow down your speed) or Lassítsd be a tempót! (Slow down the pace). The form signals a direct instruction and is frequently heard in driving instructions, road-safety messages, and informal warnings.

Lassítsd is a finite verb form and is usually part of a larger clause; it does not stand alone in typical prose except in direct quotation or slogans. Related forms include lassítsa (formal you), lassítsatok (you plural), and other verb variants that express slowing down in different grammatical persons or moods. The term illustrates how Hungarian uses specific verb endings to convey person, number, and tone in imperative statements.
