Betarthassák

Betarthassák is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb betartani, meaning to observe, keep or comply with rules, agreements, or norms. The form expresses possibility or potentiality in reference to a plural subject and is used in contexts where compliance is hypothetical or uncertain, often in formal or regulatory language.

Morphology and form: betarthassák is built from the stem betart-, combined with a modal suffix that conveys possibility (roughly corresponding to can or may) and the definite third-person plural ending. The output is a single word that indicates “they may observe/keep.” In practice, it appears in clauses that discuss what a group could or might do to fulfill a requirement, obligation, or condition.

Usage: The form is common in legal, policy, or formal discourse, where authors discuss obligations and compliance in a cautious or hypothetical way. It can appear in indirect speech or in statements about what parties could plausibly adhere to under given conditions. In everyday language, speakers might use more straightforward forms such as betarthatják or be tudják tartani, depending on nuance.

Examples:

- A felek szerint a feltételek betarthassák a szerződés végrehajtását. (According to the parties, the conditions may be complied with to implement the contract.)

- A hatóságok vizsgálata szerint a szabályok betarthassák a biztonsági előírásokat.

Notes: Betarthassák illustrates how Hungarian combines a stem with a modal suffix and a definite plural ending to express a nuanced, conditional possibility. It is one of several modality-inflected forms built from betartani, used to discuss compliance in nuanced or formal contexts.
