bealudsz

Bealudsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you fall asleep.” It is the second-person singular present indicative of the verb bealudni, which means to fall asleep. The verb bealudni is formed with the prefix be- attached to aludni, the base verb meaning to sleep. The prefix indicates entering a state of sleep or the onset of sleep, giving a sense of beginning to sleep rather than simply sleeping.

As a member of the be- prefixed verbs, bealudni follows the usual Hungarian present-tense patterns. The second-person singular present is bealudsz. Other person forms include bealudok (I fall asleep) and bealudik (he or she falls asleep), with corresponding forms for the plural: bealudunk, bealudtok, bealudnak. The past tense forms use the usual perfective endings, for example bealudtam (I fell asleep), bealudtál (you fell asleep), bealudott (he or she fell asleep). The verb can appear in questions as Bealudsz-e? (“Are you falling asleep?” or “Have you fallen asleep yet?” depending on context).

Usage notes include that bealudni and bealudni-derived forms describe the onset of sleep and are often used to talk about becoming sleepy or going to sleep, rather than simply sleeping through the night. The prefix be- is common in Hungarian to indicate a completed or initiated state, and bealudni sits among these be- prefixed verbs.

Etymology: be- is a productive Hungarian prefix meaning “into” or indicating a completed or initiated action, attached here to aludni, “to sleep.” This forms bealudni, “to fall asleep,” with bealudsz as the standard second-person singular present form.
