Azonosíthassák

Azonosíthassák is a Hungarian verbal form derived from azonosítani, meaning “to identify.” It is the third-person plural present subjunctive form and is used in subordinate clauses to express that a group may identify someone or something. The form signals potentiality or wish rather than a straightforward assertion.

Morphology and usage: The form is built from the stem azonosít- plus the suffix -hassák, which marks the mood and person (they). It typically appears in clauses introduced by hogy or in formal statements about procedures or permissions. For example: A jogszabály célja, hogy a hatóságok azonosíthassák a gyanúsítottat. A rendszer úgy van megtervezve, hogy a felhasználókat azonosíthassák.

Context and nuances: Azonosíthassák is mainly found in formal, legal, vagy államigazgatási szövegekben, where identifying persons or objects is described as a potential capability or authorized action. In everyday Hungarian, speakers might use simpler alternatives or different moods, but the form remains standard in official documents and litigation-related writing.

Note: Azonosíthassák is a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. Its use depends on the surrounding clause and the level of formality; it does not convey a definite action but the possibility that identification could occur by a plural subject.
