szedd

Szedd is a Hungarian verb form meaning "to pick" or "to harvest." It is the second-person singular present imperative of the verb szed, used to give a direct command or instruction. In everyday language, szedd functions as a concise directive, often in combination with objects or adverbial phrases to specify the action.

Common examples illustrate its range. Szedd fel a levelet means "pick up the letter." Szedd össze a papírokat means "gather the papers." Szedd össze magad is a figurative expression meaning "pull yourself together." The imperative can be combined with pronouns and other particles, such as Szedd ki belőle a hibát (extract the error from it) or Szedd le a plakátot (remove the poster from a surface).

Etymology and grammar note that szedd derives from the verb szed, which conveys several senses related to picking, gathering, or removing. Szedd is used without an explicit subject, as is typical for imperatives in Hungarian, and can take clitics or pronouns attached to it (szedd fel, szedd ki, szedd meg). It appears in a wide range of contexts, from practical tasks to idiomatic expressions.

In written and formal contexts, szedd may appear capitalized as SZEDD when used as an acronym or project name, though such uses are context-dependent and not tied to a single universally recognized entity. Outside of acronymic uses, the term remains a common grammatical form in Hungarian.
