küzdesz

Küzdesz is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you fight” or “you are fighting.” It is the second-person singular present indicative of the verb küzd, which means to fight or to struggle. In Hungarian, the subject pronoun te is often omitted because the verb ending itself marks the second person singular.

Grammatically, küzdesz is formed from the stem küzd- plus the present-tense second-person singular ending. The word is used with informal address to a single person. For formal address, the corresponding form would be Ön küzd in the present tense, using the third-person singular conjugation after the polite pronoun Ön.

Usage and nuance: küzdesz can refer to physical fighting or to metaphorical struggle, effort, or perseverance. It commonly appears in everyday speech to describe ongoing effort or response to adversity, as in “Te küzdesz a nehézségekkel” (You are fighting the difficulties). It can also describe competitive contexts, such as sports or contests, to indicate active participation and effort.

Related forms and roots: küzd is the base verb meaning “to fight/struggle.” Other conjugations include küzdök (I fight), küzdesz (you fight), küzd (he/she/it fights), and küzdünk (we fight). The family extends to derived nouns and phrases referring to struggle or combat, but küzdesz specifically denotes the second-person singular present tense form.
