Folytathatjuk

Folytathatjuk is a Hungarian verb form that expresses possibility or permission, roughly translating to "we may continue" or "we could continue." It is formed from the verb folytat (to continue) and uses the potential mood suffix -hat- along with the first-person plural ending -juk (or -jük, depending on vowel harmony). The resulting form, folytathatjuk, denotes that continuing is a possibility for the group.

The potential mood in Hungarian signals that an action may occur rather than stating it as a definite plan. Folytathatjuk is commonly used when proposing to continue a task, discussion, or event, or when indicating that continuation is possible under certain conditions. It can appear with a definite object, as in Folytathatjuk a megbeszélést (We may continue the meeting), or in more general contexts.

Usage notes and examples:

- Folytathatjuk a projektet. (We may continue the project.)

- Folytathatjuk a beszélgetést? (Shall we continue the conversation?)

The form is the present tense of the potential mood for the first-person plural. Other persons form analogously (folytathatod, folytathatja, folytathatjuk, folytathatjátok, folytathatják), with the appropriate subject endings and, when needed, the definite-object suffix -t/-ttimes.

Etymology and relation:

Folytathatjuk is built from folytat (to continue) plus the potential suffix -hat- and the personal ending -juk. It sits within Hungarian grammar as part of the modal or mood-related verb forms that express possibility, permission, or tentative planning.
