Elmozdulhatnak

Elmozdulhatnak is a Hungarian verb form that expresses possibility or ability for movement by multiple subjects. It is the third-person plural form in the potential mood of the verb elmozdulni (to move, to shift). The base elmozdul- comes from elmozdulni with the prefix el-; the potential suffix -hat attaches to the stem, and the personal suffix -nak marks the third-person plural subject, yielding elmozdulhatnak. The corresponding singular form would be elmozdulhat (he/she/it can move).

Morphology and use: elmozdulhatnak combines the verb stem elmozdul- with the potential suffix -hat and the plural subject marker -nak. This form is used when several agents may be able to move or be moved, rather than when movement is definite. The mood conveys possibility, permission, or hypothetical capability, as opposed to a definite action.

Usage notes: elmozdulhatnak appears in formal or descriptive contexts, such as technical descriptions, strategic planning, or reported speech about potential actions. It can refer to physical movement or metaphorical movement, depending on context. For singular subjects, the analogous form is elmozdulhat (he/she/it can move); for a hypothetical plural subject with different nuance, other mood forms such as elmozdulhatna or elmozdulhatnának may be used.

Examples: A hadosztályok elmozdulhatnak, ha parancsot kapnak. The divisions may move if they receive an order. A járművek elmozdulhatnak gyorsabban a jobb útviszonyok miatt. The vehicles may move faster due to better road conditions.
