elengeded

Elenged ed (lenged) is the second-person singular present form of the Hungarian verb elengedni, meaning to let go or release. The form is used when the subject is you and you let go of something tangible or abstract. In addition to literal releases, the verb is commonly used in figurative senses, such as letting go of past events, emotions, or obligations. The prefix el- contributes a sense of separation or removal, which is characteristic of many Hungarian derivate forms built on el- plus a root verb.

In terms of function, elengedni is a transitive verb, typically requiring a direct object that denotes what is being released or let go. The form elenged ed is one of several finite verb forms that mark person and tense, allowing speakers to describe actions directed at another or at themselves in a present, ongoing context. The word can appear in a wide range of register, from everyday conversation to literary language, and it frequently collaborates with noun phrases or clauses that specify what is being released or freed.

Etymology and related forms: elengedni derives from the root enged, with the separative prefix el- common in Hungarian to indicate removal or cessation. Related forms include elengedem (I let go), elengedsz (you let go), elenged (let go/let’s go, depending on form), and the noun elengedés, which denotes the act or process of letting go or releasing.
