Elkészíthet

Elkészíthet is a Hungarian verb form derived from elkészíteni, meaning to prepare or make ready. It expresses the possibility or ability to perform the action of preparing something, roughly translating as can prepare or could prepare in English. As a finite form, it is used with a subject to indicate feasibility in a given context.

Morphologically, elkészíthet combines the stem elkészít- with the modal suffix -het to signal potential mood or feasibility. It commonly appears in sentences that discuss what is possible or allowable, such as in cooking, planning, or production contexts. For example: "A recept szerint ezt az ételt elkészíthetjük 30 perc alatt" means "According to the recipe, we can prepare this dish in 30 minutes." "Ez az étel könnyen elkészíthető" translates to "This dish can be prepared easily."

Related forms include elkészíteni (the infinitive form meaning to prepare), and elkészíthető (the passive potential form meaning can be prepared). Other conjugations of the same verb, such as elkészíthetünk, elkészíthettek, or elkészíthetnek, convey the same potential meaning with different subjects.

Usage notes: elkészíthet is typically used when the speaker wants to express possibility, potential capability, or permission in a neutral, informative way. In many practical contexts, the related passive form elkészíthető is common when emphasizing feasibility from a general or impersonal perspective, as in instructions or packaging.
