levágja

Levágja is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb levágni, meaning to cut off, trim, or sever by removing a part. The prefix le- indicates detachment or completion, and the verb is transitive, taking a direct object in the accusative: levágja a haját, levágja a körmét.

Common uses include cutting hair or nails, trimming plant material, or removing pieces from a larger object. It can refer to physical cutting as well as to surgical or mechanical cutting, and it is often used in everyday speech. The verb appears in various tenses and forms: infinitive levágni, past tense levágta (he/she cut off), and past participle levágott (cut off). Future forms are typically built with the auxiliary fog (fog levágni) or with majd followed by levágja, depending on the construction.
