Questions & Answers about Kérlek, frissítsd a dokumentumot, mert a régi változat még hibás.
Kérlek is a very common way to say please when speaking to one person informally.
Grammatically, it originally comes from the verb kér (to ask) and literally means something like I ask you. In everyday Hungarian, though, it often just works like please.
In this sentence:
Kérlek, frissítsd a dokumentumot...
it softens the command and makes it sound polite.
A few useful comparisons:
- kérlek = please, when addressing te
- kérem = please, when addressing someone formally
- kérlek szépen = a slightly warmer or more emphatic please
So this sentence is speaking to one person, informally.
Because frissítsd is an imperative form: update!
The base verb is frissít = to update / refresh.
Hungarian uses special verb forms for commands. Here, the speaker is telling someone to do something, so the verb must be in the imperative.
More specifically:
- frissít = he/she updates, or to update
- frissíts! = update! (general/intransitive-style command)
- frissítsd! = update it! / update the definite thing!
The -d at the end is important because the object is definite: a dokumentumot = the document.
So frissítsd a dokumentumot means update the document.
