tévedsz

Tévedsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning "you are mistaken" or "you are wrong." It is the second person singular present indicative of the verb tévedni, which means to err or to be mistaken. The root téved- is associated with errors or misjudgments; the related noun tévedés denotes a mistake or error.

Etymology and form: tévedsz is built from the verb stem téved- plus the second person singular present suffix -sz. The same root appears in related words such as tévedés (an error) and tévedni (to err). This form is used when addressing someone directly in the present tense.

Usage: tévedsz is typically employed to challenge or correct something another person has said. It can be blunt or brusque in casual speech, and may come across as confrontational depending on tone and context. In more formal or polite dialogue, speakers may opt for alternatives such as "Ön téved," or softer phrases like "Úgy gondolom, hogy tévedsz."

Examples:

- Tévedsz. (You are mistaken.)

- Tévedsz, ha azt hiszed, mindent tudsz. (You are wrong if you think you know everything.)

- Ebben a részben tévedsz. (You are mistaken in this part.)
