generálsz

Generálsz is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb generál, which means to generate, produce, or create output such as data, numbers, or content. The form is used when addressing someone directly about performing the act of generating.

Morphology and usage: The verb stem is generál-, to which the second-person singular ending -sz is added, giving generálsz. In standard Hungarian, if the direct object is definite, the verb takes the definite conjugation, e.g., generálod means “you generate it.” If the object is indefinite, the form remains generálsz, as in “Te generálsz véletlenszámokat” (You generate random numbers).

Etymology and related forms: Generál is a loanword in Hungarian, derived from the English generate (and ultimately from Latin generare). Related terms include generálás (generation) and generátor (generator), which share the same root and are used in technical or mathematical contexts.

Usage context: Generálsz is primarily found in technical, computing, or data-generation contexts. It is less common in everyday speech, where speakers might use alternatives such as előállítasz or készítesz depending on nuance. As with other Hungarian -ál verbs, distinguishing between indefinite and definite objects affects the conjugation (generálsz vs. generálod).

Examples:

- Te generálsz véletlenszámokat a szimulációban. (You generate random numbers in the simulation.)

- Generálod a végeredményt. (You generate the final result.)
