Felírhatja

Felírhatja is a Hungarian verb form meaning “may prescribe” or “can prescribe.” It is derived from the verb felírni, which means to prescribe or to write a prescription. The form is used to express possibility or permission in a context where the direct object is definite.

Morphology and construction are notable. Felírhatja is the third-person singular form in the present potential mood, built from the stem felír-, the potential suffix -hat/-het, and a definite direct-object suffix -ja/-je. The definite-object version is used when the object is specified, as in felírhatja a gyógyszert, meaning “he may prescribe the medicine.” If the object is indefinite, the suffix is not used, for example felírhat gyógyszert, meaning “may prescribe medicine.”

Concrete usage examples illustrate the meaning. A sentence such as A doktor felírhatja a gyógyszert translates to “The doctor may prescribe the medicine.” This form is common in medical, regulatory, or descriptive contexts when discussing what a professional is permitted to do, rather than stating an action that is certain or obligatory. The form can be modified for other subjects and objects; for instance, felírhatja az Ön gyógyszerét would mean “he may prescribe your medicine,” with the definite-object suffix corresponding to the specified object.

Related forms include felírhatta (could have prescribed) for the past potential, and the base felírni for the infinitive. Felírhatja thus functions as a precise linguistic tool for expressing allowed or possible prescribing action within Hungarian grammar.
