Felírhatok

Felírhatok is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I could prescribe” or “I may prescribe.” It is the first-person singular form in the present potential mood of the verb felírni, which means to prescribe or to write a prescription. The form is built from the stem felír- with the potential suffix -hat and the first-person singular ending -ok, a common pattern for potential forms in Hungarian.

In usage, felírhatok conveys possibility or permission to issue a prescription, typically in medical contexts. It does not state that a prescription will be issued, but that it could be issued under suitable conditions, such as the patient’s condition or regulatory authorization. For example: “Ha a beteg állapota megengedi, felírhatok neki egy antibiotikumot.” Such statements are common in clinical discussions or hypothetical planning.

Relation to other forms reflects a shift in certainty. Felírok, for instance, would express a definite action in the present (“I prescribe”); felírhatok indicates potential rather than certainty. The form is tied to the lexical root felírni, with the prefix fel- deriving from the verb meaning “to prescribe” in a written sense.

Etymology and related terms: the word comes from felírni, which combines the prefix fel- with írni (to write). The noun form felírás denotes the act or document of prescribing. The term is used primarily in medical or healthcare contexts and is part of standard Hungarian medical vocabulary.
