Szavaztok

Szavaztok is a Hungarian verb form. It is the second person plural present indicative of the verb szavazni, meaning “to vote.” It is used when addressing more than one person, for example in questions or statements about a group’s voting.

Grammatically, szavaztok consists of the stem szavaz- plus the present tense suffix -tok, which marks the second person plural. The subject is usually the implied pronoun ti (you all). The form is active voice and present tense. It is distinct from other related forms such as szavazok (I vote), szavazol (you vote, singular), or szavaznak (they vote).

The word is often confused with the noun szavazat (a vote) and its plural szavazatok (votes). The noun refers to individual ballots or the act of casting a vote, while szavaztok is a verb form used in ongoing or habitual voting by a group addressed directly.

Usage notes: szavaztok appears in everyday speech and in informal or semi-formal writing when addressing multiple people. In formal contexts, the second person plural form is less common; alternatives include szavaznak for “you (they) vote,” or, when addressing a group formally, a construction with the pronoun Önök or the plural verb forms appropriate to the register.

Examples:

- Hányan szavaztok ma a szavazáson?

- Ti szavaztok ma délután?
