lazíts

Lazíts is the second-person singular imperative form of the Hungarian verb lazít, meaning to relax, loosen, or ease. As an imperative, lazíts is used to address one person in informal speech, telling them to relax or loosen up. The corresponding plural imperative is lazítsatok. The infinitive is lazítani, and the related noun lazítás refers to relaxation or loosening.

Meaning and usage

Lazít can describe physical relaxation, such as releasing muscular tension, as in the command Lazíts! or Lazítsd el a vállad. It can also be used metaphorically to indicate easing tension or loosening rules, for example Lazíts a szigorú előírásokon, meaning to ease up on strict regulations. The word appears in everyday speech, fitness contexts, and discussions about rules or policies.

Grammatical notes

Lazíts follows the regular Hungarian -ít conjugation pattern. The stem is lazít-, and the suffixes mark person and mood (eg Lazíts, Lazítsatok). The negative imperative form is ne lazíts. The related nouns and verbs include lazítás (relaxation, loosening) and lazítani (to relax or loosen).

Etymology and related terms

The verb lazít derives from the adjective laza, meaning loose or relaxed, with the -ít suffix forming a causative or intensive verb meaning “to loosen or relax.” The imperative lazíts is thus the direct command form built on this root.
