Válassz

Válassz is a Hungarian verb form functioning as the second-person singular imperative of the verb választani, meaning to choose. It is used to give a direct command or invitation, typically addressing a single listener in informal contexts. The formal and plural forms are válasszon (formal singular) and válasszatok / válasszanak (plural, depending on politeness).

In usage, válassz appears widely in everyday language, advertising, user interfaces, forms, and instructional text. It can stand alone as a brief directive, such as Válassz!, or be part of a complete sentence like Válassz ki egyet a lehetőségek közül. The imperative tone is direct and concise, suitable for prompting decision or action.

Grammatically, válassz is derived from the stem of választani (to choose). It contrasts with the third-person present form választ (he/she/it chooses) and with the polite/formal imperative válasszon. The informal plural form is válasszatok or válasszatok, depending on regional or stylistic preferences.

Common usage notes include the connotation of immediacy and informality. In written or spoken contexts requiring politeness or formality, speakers typically opt for válasszon, válasszanak, or a more indirect construction. Válassz is also frequently found in slogans, campaigns, and digital menus where a quick, actionable directive is desirable.
