hazudsz

Hazudsz is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb hazudni, meaning to lie. It literally translates to “you lie” and is used to accuse someone of not telling the truth. The base verb hazudni belongs to the core Hungarian lexicon and has related forms such as hazugság (lie, falsehood) and hazug (lying, false; liar).

Etymology: The exact origin of hazudni is not definitively established, but the verb is attested in Old Hungarian and has cognates in modern Hungarian. It is a regular verb in its conjugation, with the te-form hazudsz, while other forms include hazudok (I lie), hazudik (he/she lies), hazudunk (we lie), hazudtok (you all lie), hazudnak (they lie).

Usage: Hazudsz is commonly used in everyday speech to address someone directly and accuse them of deception. It can carry a strong or confrontational tone, especially in heated exchanges. In more formal or cautious contexts, speakers may opt for softer wording, such as nem igaz, amit mondasz (what you say isn’t true) or nem mondasz igazat (you’re not telling the truth).

Examples: Hazudsz. Azt mondtad, igazad van, de ez hazugság. Hazudsz-e? (Are you lying?) The phrase is versatile and can be combined with context to indicate ongoing deception or to challenge a specific statement.
