Válaszolsz

Válaszolsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you answer” or “you are answering.” It is the second person singular present indicative of the verb válaszol, which means to answer or to respond. The base infinitive is válaszolni. The noun related to it is válasz, meaning “answer.”

Etymology and morphology: válaszol derives from the noun válasz (answer) with the verb-forming suffix -ol. In Hungarian, the present tense forms vary by person and number; válaszolsz specifically marks the informal singular second person. The corresponding formal address uses the form válaszol in combination with the pronoun Ön (Ön válaszol).

Usage: válaszolsz is used when the subject is addressing someone informally and indicating that this person is answering or about to answer. It can govern direct questions, or appear in statements about the action of answering. It is common to pair it with what is being answered (mit válaszolsz? what do you answer?) or with the recipient (kinek válaszolsz? to whom do you answer?). In formal contexts, you would use Önt válaszol (you answer, formally) where the verb form agrees with the polite address.

Examples:

- Mit válaszolsz a kérdésre? What do you answer to the question?

- Kinek válaszolsz? To whom do you answer?

- Válaszolsz már? Are you going to answer already?

- Ön válaszol. You answer. (formal address)

Related forms include válaszolni (to answer), válaszoltam (I answered), and válaszolva (answering, a participial form). The word is widely used in everyday Hungarian and in written and spoken styles without special technical usage.
