csúsztat

Csúsztat is a Hungarian verb meaning to move an object by sliding it along a surface or to cause something to slip into place with a deliberate, gliding motion. It can describe physical actions, such as sliding meat into a pan or sliding a card into a deck, as well as figurative ones, like slipping in a remark or insinuation.

The word is derived from csúszik, “to slip,” and forms a transitive verb with the suffix -tat. It follows regular Hungarian conjugation patterns: csúsztat (present third-person singular), csúsztatsz, csúsztatok, csúsztatnak, and the past tense forms such as csúsztattam, csúsztattad, csúsztatott, etc. In noun form, csúsztatás denotes the act or process of sliding or slipping, and csúsztató can refer to an implement or mechanism that facilitates sliding.

Usage notes: csúsztat is commonly used in everyday Hungarian to describe practical actions, such as placing an item by sliding it into position. It is also employed metaphorically to describe introducing information or remarks in a subtle or sly manner, for example by means of a csúsztatott megjegyzés.
