lassítsátok

Lassítsátok is a Hungarian verb form used as an imperative. It is the second-person plural imperative of the verb lassít, meaning to slow down. The form is employed when addressing a group and telling them to reduce speed or pace.

Grammatical notes: Lassítsátok consists of the verb stem lassít- plus the second-person plural imperative ending -átok. It is commonly used with a following object to specify what should be slowed down, for example: Lassítsátok a sebességet (slow down the speed), Lassítsátok le a tempót (slow down the tempo). The phrase can also stand alone for emphasis, as in Lassítsátok! indicating a direct command to decelerate.

Usage and contexts: The form is typical in traffic control, coaching, and any situation requiring immediate reduction of speed. It can appear in spoken instruction, signage, or radio communication, where a group is being directed to slow their movement or operation. In formal or polite communication addressing several people, other forms such as lassítsák may be used to convey a more courteous tone.

Related forms and alternatives: Related phrases include lassíts le (slower down, with a particle le) and slower-down variants such as Lassítsátok le a járművet or Lassítsátok be a sebességet. The verb itself derives from lassú, meaning slow, and shares semantic field with other speed-adjustment expressions in Hungarian.
