csillapodsz

Csillapodsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you calm down” or “you soothe yourself.” It is the second-person singular present indicative of the reflexive verb csillapodni, which denotes becoming calmer or more composed in response to stress, agitation, or anger. The form is commonly used in everyday speech to describe a self-directed act of regaining composure.

Etymology and morphology: the form comes from the root csillap- (“to soothe, pacify”) with the reflexive infix -od- and the personal ending -sz for the second person singular. It belongs to a family of related words such as csillapítás (calming, pacification) and csillapító (pacifier or soothing agent). The related verb csillapodik exists in third-person forms like csillapodik (he/she/it calms down). Csillapodsz is not a standalone noun; it functions as a finite verb form indicating a reflexive action.

Usage: csillapodsz expresses a present action or habitual state of self-calming and is used mainly to describe internal emotional processes rather than external actions. Hungarian sentences often omit the subject pronoun, since the verb form itself marks person and number. Related forms include csillapodás (the process of calming down) and csillapító (a soothing agent or soothing).

Examples: Amikor izgatott vagy, csillapodsz, és nyugodtan beszélsz. A vita végére mindenki csillapodik.
