Olvasd

Olvasd is the second-person singular imperative form of the Hungarian verb olvasni, meaning to read. It is used to command or encourage someone to read and is typically combined with other particles or objects, for example olvasd el a könyvet (read the book) or olvasd tovább (continue reading). The form is derived from the stem olvas- of olvasni, with the imperative suffix -d added; in practice it is often followed by el or another particle to complete the meaning.

In ordinary speech, Olvasd appears most commonly within longer phrases rather than as a stand-alone noun. It can function as a direct instruction in written materials, classroom settings, or signs, where a clear imperative is required. Because it is a verb form, its usage depends on context and the accompanying objects or particles that specify what should be read and how.

As a standalone term, Olvasd is rarely used outside of grammatical discussion or as a stylistic choice in titles, slogans, or reading campaigns that play on the imperative mood. In such cases it may appear capitalized as a headline or label, but in normal prose it remains part of a larger verb phrase.
