Felülírhatják

Felülírhatják is a Hungarian verb form derived from felülírni, meaning to override, overwrite, or supersede something. It is the third-person plural present potential mood, conveying that “they can” or “they may override.” The form is used when referring to multiple actors who have the power or possibility to change or replace an earlier outcome, rule, or data.

Etymology and usage contexts: The prefix fel- adds a sense of reversal or alteration to írni (to write). In computing, felülírni refers to overwriting existing data; in law, policy, or organizational contexts, it can mean to overturn or supersede a previous decision or rule. The phrase appears in discussions of authority, governance, or system behavior where multiple agents may act to override.

Grammar: Felülírhatják is formed from felülírni (infinitive) plus hat (potential/ability) plus ják (third-person plural). It expresses possibility rather than obligation and is used with a plural subject.

Examples:

- A döntéshozók felülírhatják a korábbi döntést.

- A frissítések felülírhatják a korábbi beállításokat.
