távolítani

Távolítani is a Hungarian verb meaning to remove, to take away, or to distance. It is a transitive verb used with a direct object that denotes what is being removed, and it can also express making something distant or removing something from a context. Common senses include physical removal (cleaning a surface, taking an item away), detaching a part, or creating distance in space, relation, or perception. The verb appears in figurative uses as well, such as removing obstacles or emotional states.

The root form is távolít- and it is built from távol, meaning far, with the infinitive suffix -ani to form távolítani. The prefixed form eltávolítani adds el- to emphasize removal from a place or making something go away. Related noun forms include távolítás (the act of removing or the act of distancing) and eltávolítás (removal from a location or context), which are common in technical or administrative language.

Conjugation: in the present indicative, távolítom, távolítod, távolítja, távolítjuk, távolítjátok, távolítják. The past tense is formed with -tott-: távolítottam, távolítottad, távolította, távolítottuk, távolítottátok, távolították. The imperative forms include távolítsd (singular), távolítsátok (plural), távolítsa (formal). Negative and conditional forms follow standard Hungarian patterns with nem and conditional endings.

See also: eltávolítani, távolítás, eltávolítás. The word is widely used in everyday Hungarian as well as in technical contexts, and its correct usage hinges on the intended nuance—simple removal vs. removing from a place or away from a relationship.
