Kedvezhet

Kedvezhet is a Hungarian verb form meaning may benefit or could be advantageous. It is derived from kedvez, which means to be favorable or to grant a benefit. The suffix -het expresses possibility, so kedvezhet denotes that something has the potential to be beneficial in a given situation.

In Hungarian, kedvezhet is typically used with an indirect object in the dative to indicate who may benefit. The construction kedvez vkinek (to be favorable to someone) can be extended with kedvezhet to express future or hypothetical benefit. For example, Ez a terv kedvezhet a gazdaságnak means This plan may benefit the economy. A javaslat kedvezhet a felhasználóknak translates as The proposal could be favorable to the users.

Usage notes include that kedvezhet can refer to future possibilities or hypothetical outcomes and is common in analysis, planning, and conditional statements. It is formed from the stem kedvez with the potential suffix -het, and its 3rd person singular form is kedvezhet, while the plural form kedvezhetnek means they may benefit.

Related terms include kedvező, meaning favorable or advantageous, and kedvezés, meaning a benefit or concession. The verb kedvez, used without the -het suffix, expresses a straightforward, non-modal sense of being favorable or to benefit in a definite sense, as in A döntés kedvez a vállalatnak. Kedvezhetnyire is a general citation of the broader Hungarian mood of possibility applied to other verbs.
