Takarítsd

Takarítsd is the second-person singular imperative form of the Hungarian verb takarítani, meaning to clean up, tidy, or sweep. It is used to issue a direct command to one person, typically in informal contexts such as at home or among friends. The form is created from the stem takarít- with the imperative suffix -d.

When combined with separable prefixes, takarítani forms phrases such as takarítsd ki or takarítsd el, which modify the action of cleaning to include clearing something out or putting something away. For example, takardítsd ki a szobát means “clean out the room,” and takarítsd fel a padlót means “clean up the floor.” The prefixes ki, fel, or other particles can change the nuance of the cleaning task, but the core meaning remains cleaning or tidying.

Usage and tone: takarítsd is common in everyday conversation, household instructions, and parental or supervisory commands. It is informal and direct; in formal or multi-person situations, Hungarian would ordinarily use a different form such as takarítsanak or a more polite construction like kérjük, takarítsanak fel.

Etymology and related terms: takarítsd derives from takarítani, which means to clean or tidy. Related words include takarítás (cleaning, tidying) and other imperatives formed from the same verb, such as takarítsd meg (clean it up) or takarítsátok (you all tidy up), depending on voice and number.

Overall, takarítsd is a concise, practical command used to prompt cleaning actions directed at a single listener.
