Parental advisory: the following material might be offensive to some,
although it is presented purely as academia.

"bazmeg" is compuspelling of "baszd meg"

baszd                   meg
fuck-2psg-IMPERATIVE+*  perfective particle

* = there are several imperatives for the 2nd person singular:

bassza'l = [you] fuck! (no specific object)
bassza'l = [you] fuck [me/us]! (specific def obj of first person sg or pl)
baszd = [you] fuck it! (specified definite object of 2nd or 3rd person)

1st person singular versions of the above:

basszak
?basszam
basszam

3rd person singular:

basszon
basszon
bassza (this one is commonly used in such expressions as "bassza meg a
kutya" - "a kutya" = "the dog")

1st person plural:

basszunk
n/a
basszuk (identical to 1ppl present definite)

2nd person plural:

basszatok
basszatok
bassza'tok

3rd person plural:

basszanak
basszanak
bassza'k (identical to 3ppl present definite)

and yes: these are all imperatives!
