válaszolj

Válaszolj is the second-person singular imperative form of the Hungarian verb válaszolni, meaning to answer or to respond. It is used to issue a direct command or request that someone provide an answer.

The infinitive válaszolni comes from the noun válasz, meaning “answer.” In Hungarian, imperative forms vary by person and formality: válaszolj (informal singular), válaszoljon (formal singular), válaszoljatok (informal plural), válaszoljanak (formal plural). The form válaszolj is therefore used when addressing one person informally.

Usage and context: válaszolj is common in everyday speech, educational settings, and interactive prompts or tests. Examples include: "Kérlek, válaszolj rá." (Please, answer it.) or "Válaszolj a kérdésre." In formal contexts one would say "Kérem, válaszoljon." The negative form is "Ne válaszolj!"

Notes on grammar: válaszol is a transitive verb; it typically governs an object or a prepositional phrase, such as "a kérdésre" (to the question). The base present tense forms are válaszolok, válaszolsz, válaszol, válaszolunk, válaszoltok, válaszolnak.

Related terms: válasz (noun) means “answer,” and válaszolni (to answer) is the general verb from which válaszolj derives. The word appears in various instructional, declarative, and interactive contexts wherever prompting a response is needed.
