távolítsa

Távolítsa is a Hungarian verb form derived from távolítani, meaning to remove or take away. It is used as the formal imperative form (addressed to Ön) and, in grammatical terms, corresponds to a polite command. In practical use, távolítsa el means “remove it,” with el being a separable prefix that turns the verb into a phrasal verb.

The form appears most often in formal instructions, manuals, legal texts, or polite requests. Because it communicates authority or courtesy, it is preferred in settings where a respectful tone is required. The corresponding informal imperative would be távolítsd el (singular) or távolítsátok el (plural).

Usage notes:

- Távolítsa el is typically followed by a direct object, the thing to be removed (for example, a szennyeződést, a dobozt).

- The construction is not generally used in casual speech; speakers choose the informal forms instead.

- The form távolítsa can also appear in phrases where the subject is implicit or understood as a polite singular or plural.

Examples:

- Távolítsa el a szennyeződést a felületről. (Please remove the contamination from the surface.)

- Kérem, távolítsa el a felesleges részeket a tervből. (Please remove the unnecessary parts from the plan.)

- Távolítsa el a nedvességet a térségből. (Please remove the moisture from the area.)
