kanyarodtok

Kanyarodtok is a form of the Hungarian verb kanyarodni, used to express “you all turn” in the present tense. It denotes turning or bending, most often in driving or walking directions. Like many Hungarian verb forms, the subject is often implied by the verb ending rather than stated separately.

Formation: The form is created from the stem kanyarod- with the present-tense second-person plural ending -tok, signaling the subject ti (you, plural). In Hungarian, this is a regular pattern for -odni verbs in the present tense.

Usage: It appears when describing actions performed by a group or when giving directions in everyday speech. It should not be confused with the imperative; the imperative form for addressing a group is kanyarodjatok. Example: Ti kanyarodtok balra a kereszteződésnél.

Etymology and related forms: The root kanyar- comes from kanyar, bend, with the suffixes used to form kanyarodni, the infinitive. Related present-tense forms include te kanyarodsz, ő kanyarodik, mi kanyarodunk, ti kanyarodtok, és ők kanyarodnak.
