Pumpálsz

Pumpálsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning "you pump." It is the second person singular present indicative form of the verb pumpálni, which means "to pump." The form combines the verb stem pumpál- with the present-tense ending -sz, marking the informal second person.

Etymology and usage context: The Hungarian verb pumpálni is a loanword built on the noun pumpa, meaning "a pump," and the suffix -ál used to form verbs. The word pumpa itself is of uncertain origin but is commonly linked to European terms for pumping devices; pumpálni entered Hungarian as a native verb meaning to operate a pump or to cause a fluid or gas to move by pumping.

Common usage: Pumpálsz is used in everyday language to describe the act of pumping liquids, air, or other substances with a pump or pump-like device. It can refer to actions such as drawing water from a well, inflating a tire or mattress, or operating a hand pump. The form is typically used with direct objects in the accusative case, for example: "Te pumpálsz vizet a kútból" (You pump water from the well) or "Te pumpálsz levegőt a matracba" (You pump air into the mattress).

Related terms: The noun pumpa (pump) and the gerund noun pumpálás (pumping) are closely related. The verb appears in various tenses and persons, following standard Hungarian conjugation patterns for -ál verbs.

Notes: As a present tense second-person singular form, pumpálsz is commonly used in informal conversation and instructional contexts.
