Támadsz

Támadsz is the second person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb támad, meaning "you attack." It is used to describe an ongoing or immediate action performed by the subject on a target, object, or opposing side.

The verb támad is regular in its conjugation. In the present tense its complete paradigm is: én támadok, te támadsz, ő támad, mi támadunk, ti támadtok, ők támadnak. The noun formed from the same root is támadás, meaning "attack," and related forms include támadó, meaning "attacker" or "offensive/pertaining to attacking."

Usage and nuance: támadsz appears in military, sports, competitive, and metaphorical contexts (for example in debates or campaigns). The form inherently indicates second-person subject, so the pronoun is often omitted in Hungarian sentences. Examples include: "Támadsz az ellenfélre." or "Ha felérsz a kapuba, támadsz." The verb can be negated with nem: "Nem támadsz most." Past and future forms are támadtál/támadtál, and támadsz majd, respectively.

Etymology: támad derives from the base verb támad, with the noun támadás ("attack") formed by the suffix -ás. The two share the same linguistic root.
