Elégíthetik

Elégíthetik is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they can pay" or "they may pay" in English. It is the third-person plural conditional form of the verb "elégít," which means "to pay" or "to satisfy." The verb "elégíthetik" is used to express a possibility or permission for a group of people to fulfill an obligation, typically a financial one.

For example, in a sentence like "Az adósok elégíthetik a tartozásukat két részletben," it means "The debtors can pay their debt in two installments." Here, "elégíthetik" indicates that the debtors have the option or the right to make their payment in this manner. The conditional mood suggests that the ability to pay is dependent on certain circumstances or if they choose to do so.

The verb is formed by combining the prefix "el-" (which often indicates completion or movement away) with the root "égít" (to burn, but in this context, it signifies payment or fulfillment). The "-het" suffix denotes the potential or ability, and the "-ik" ending signifies the third-person plural subject. Therefore, "elégíthetik" literally conveys the idea that "it is possible for them to pay/fulfill." This grammatical structure is common in Hungarian for expressing various forms of ability, possibility, or permission.
