Távolítok

Távolítok is a Hungarian verb meaning “I remove” or “I distance” in the present tense, first person singular. It is derived from the root távol, meaning far, with the derivational suffix -ít, forming a transitive verb that signals making something distant or taking something away from a location. The verb can also be extended with prefixes to express more specific meanings; the most common prefixed form is eltávolít, meaning “to remove” in a stronger or more formal sense. Related nouns include távolítás (removal, distance) and eltávolítás (removal, elimination).

Etymology and related forms: Távolít comes from távol (far) plus the -ít suffix that creates verbs of causative or applicative meaning. The prefixed eltávolít is widely used to denote removing something from a place or system. The noun távolítás refers to the act or result of making something distant, while eltávolítás emphasizes elimination or removal.

Conjugation and usage: In the present indicative, the forms are távolítok, távolítasz, távolít, távolítunk, távolítotok, távolítanak. The prefixed present forms are eltávolítom, eltávolítod, eltávolítja, eltávolítjuk, eltávolítjátok, eltávolítják. The verb also forms past tense (távolítottam, távolítottál, távolított, etc.) and can be used with future expressions built with fog (távolítani fogok; eltávolítani fogok). In everyday language, távolítok is used for making something distant or for removing objects; for deleting data or files, Hungarian often uses eltávolít or töröl, depending on context, with eltávolítás as a formal term for removal.

Examples: Use of eltávolít to emphasize deliberate removal from a location or system is common: “Eltávolítom a hibát a kódból” (I will remove the error from the code). “A felesleges elemeket eltávolítom a listáról” (I remove the unnecessary elements from the list).
