Melegítesz

Melegítesz is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you heat up” or “you warm up.” It is the second-person singular present tense form of the verb melegíteni, which means to heat or to warm. In this form the subject te (you) is often implied and the pronoun is not strictly required in ordinary speech.

Melegíteni is a transitive verb used with an object that is heated or warmed. The present tense form melegítesz is commonly combined with a direct object, for example melegítesz fel vizet (you heat up water) or melegítesz fel levest (you warm up soup). The particle fel in these phrases indicates the direction “up,” and together with melegíteni forms phrasal verbs such as felmelegíteni, meaning to reheat.

In usage, melegítesz operates like other Hungarian present-tense verbs: the second-person singular form is used to address someone directly, while the subject is often omitted. The meaning can vary slightly depending on context, particularly with separable prefixes like fel, which shifts the focus to the completion of the heating action (reheating) rather than simply heating.

Etymology stems from the root meleg- meaning hot, with the infinitive suffix -íteni and the present-tense personal ending -esz for the second person. As a common daily verb, melegítesz appears in spoken Hungarian, cookery instructions, and instructions involving warming up food or liquids.
