Irritálhatja

Irritálhatja is a Hungarian verb form meaning "may irritate" or "could irritate." It is created from the verb irritál (to irritate) by adding the potential/subjunctive suffix -hat/-het and the definite-object suffix -ja/-je. The combination signals that the subject may cause irritation to a specific, definite object.

Morphology and usage

In this form, the action is potential rather than certain, and the object is definite, indicated by the -ja/-je suffix attached to the verb stem when a definite object is present. For example, irritálhatja a szemét means "it may irritate his/her eyes," and irritálhatja a bőrét means "it may irritate his/her skin." The subject of the sentence is expressed by the finite verb form, typically in the third person singular (he/she/it may irritate) or in formal/indirect forms of address.

Context and examples

Irritálhatja many everyday contexts, such as consumer products, medications, cosmetics, and environmental factors. Common usage focuses on potential side effects or irritant properties. Examples:
