Elhanyagolhatod

Elhanyagolhatod is a Hungarian verb form that means “you can neglect” or “you may neglect” when addressing the second person singular. It combines the verb elhanyagolni (to neglect) with the modal suffix hat/het, indicating possibility, and the personal ending -od for the informal you.

Formation and related forms: The base stem is elhanyagol-, derived from elhanyagolni. The modal suffix -hat/-het adds the sense of possibility or permission, and the person suffix -od marks the second person singular. Other persons use different endings: elhanyagolhatja (he/she/it can neglect), elhanyagolhatjuk (we can neglect), elhanyagolhatjátok (you all can neglect), etc. The infinitive is elhanyagolni, and the adjective elhanyagolható means “negligible” or “negligible/neglectable.”

Usage: This form is used when speaking to someone in the informal singular and indicating that neglecting something is possible or permissible. In everyday language it can carry a mild, advisory tone rather than a strong command, and may imply that skipping a task is optional rather than obligatory.

Examples:

- Elhanyagolhatod ezt a feladatot, ha nincs rá időd. (You can skip this task if you don’t have time.)

- Elhanyagolhatod a részleteket, de akkor ne csodálkozz, ha a végeredmény hiányos lesz. (You may neglect the details, but don’t be surprised if the result is incomplete.)

Overall, elhanyagolhatod is a niche, modality-marked form used to express that neglect is a viable option for the second-person singular.
