Fejezhetünk

Fejezhetünk is a Hungarian finite verb form used to express possibility or capability in the first-person plural. It corresponds roughly to “we can finish” or “we may finish” in English and is formed from the verb fejezni (to finish/end) with the suffix -het, which marks potential mood, plus the personal ending -nk for the 1st person plural. The result is fejezhetünk, a present-mood form that denotes a potential action rather than a definite one.

Grammar and formation: The base stem for this form is fejez-, to which the potential suffix -het is attached, and then the 1st-person plural ending -nk is added. This places fejezhetünk in the present tense domain of the Hungarian mood system, specifically the potential (modal) aspect. It can govern transitive constructions, typically with a following object or complement, depending on the context (for example, referring to finishing a task, a project, or a process).

Usage: Fejezhetünk is used when the speaker wants to indicate that finishing is possible within certain constraints, such as time, resources, or conditions. It is common in planning, project discussions, and conditional statements where certainty is not assumed. In more definitive contexts, speakers might opt for forms that express certainty or intention, or use the corresponding be- prefixed form to emphasize completion (e.g., through the related verb befejezni, meaning “to complete” or “to finish off”).

Related forms and notes: The root verb is fejezni, with related forms including other persons’ potentials (fejezhetsz, fejezhet, fejezhetünk, fejezhettek, fejezhetnek). For expressions specifically about completing something in full, the common lexical pair is befejezni, which carries the sense of “to finish” with a completed outcome.
