Szedjetek

Szedjetek is a Hungarian verb form: the second-person plural imperative of szedni, meaning “you all pick” or “you all harvest.” It is used to command a group to gather or collect something, typically fruit, herbs, or other harvestable materials, but can also appear in broader contexts where a group is instructed to take or gather items.

Grammatically, szedni is a regular Hungarian verb. The imperative for you all is formed from the stem szed-, and the common spelling is szedjetek; some speakers also use szedjétek, reflecting phonetic assimilation. Both forms are understood and used in contemporary Hungarian, with slight differences in pronunciation but the same function in sentences.

Usage examples include: Szedjetek gyümölcsöt a fáról. Szedjetek gyógynövényt az út mentén. In everyday speech, the subject is often omitted, and the command is directed at a group present in the conversation. The tone can range from neutral instruction to urgent encouragement, depending on context.

Etymology: szedjetek derives from szedni, meaning to pick, harvest, or collect. The related noun szedés denotes the act of picking or harvesting.
