Osztasz

Osztasz is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb osztani, meaning you divide or you distribute. It is a conjugated form used when addressing someone informally and directly. The base verb osztani is native Hungarian and means to separate something into parts, assign portions, or allocate.

Grammatically, osztasz is built from the stem oszt- plus the present-tense suffix -asz, which marks the second person singular in this verb class. It can appear in simple clauses or as part of larger constructions, including imperatives like ki/fel/meg-osztasz ki, depending on the sentence structure. In formal address, the corresponding forms are different (for example, Ön osztja).

Usage notes and examples:

- Te osztasz feladatokat két részre. (You divide tasks into two parts.)

- Te osztasz ki ceruzákat a diákok között. (You distribute pencils among the students.)

The form is commonly found in instructions, rules, or dialogues where a speaker directly tells someone what to do or describes their action.

Related terms include megosztani (to share or to distribute in general), felosztani (to partition or subdivide), and osztály (class, from the same verb root). The word osztasz is a inflected form rather than a standalone lexical item; its meaning is derived from the verb osztani and the context of the sentence.
