Jutalmazható

Jutalmazható is a Hungarian adjective formed from the verb jutalmaz (to reward) with the suffix -ható, which marks potential or capability. The word means "worthy of a reward" or "able to be rewarded," i.e., deserving of compensation or recognition. It is used to describe actions, behaviors, or outcomes that merit a reward, praise, or incentive.

Etymology and grammar: The form is a participial adjective derived from jutalmaz, with the infinitive suffix -ható. It agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case: for example, "jutalmazható magatartás" (reward-worthy behavior), "jutalmazható tettek" (rewardable deeds). In predicative position one can say "Ez a tett jutalmazható" or "Ez a magatartás jutalmazható."

Usage: The term is common in formal, policy, or evaluative writing when specifying criteria for rewards, incentives, or recognition. It carries a normative nuance, indicating that reward is warranted under defined standards, not merely desirable. In everyday language speakers may opt for synonyms such as "érdemes jutalmazni" or "megérdemelt" depending on context.

Examples: "A példamutató szolgálat jutalmazható volt." "A jutalmazható cselekedet között szerepel az együttműködés és a segítőkészség."
