Kerülhetek

Kerülhetek is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb kerülni. It represents the first-person singular form in the potential mood, created by adding the suffix -het to the stem kerül- and ending with the personal ending -ek. In Hungarian, the potential mood is used to express possibility or uncertainty about performing the action described by the verb.

Because kerülni has multiple senses—such as to get away, to avoid, or to be costly—the exact meaning of kerülhetek depends on context. In sentences with the sense of avoidance, elkerülhetek, the prefix el- can be used to convey the idea of avoiding something, for example “I may avoid it.” With other senses, the form can indicate a possibility related to costs, consequences, or other outcomes associated with the verb.

Kerülhetek is more common in formal or literary contexts; in everyday speech, speakers often use other constructions to convey similar ideas, or rely on standard conditional or speculative forms. As a finite verb, kerülhetek agrees with the first-person singular subject.

Related forms include kerülnék (present conditional: I would avoid) and elkerülhetek (I may avoid). The form is part of the Hungarian mood system that uses the suffix -hat/-het to indicate possibility, applied to appropriate verb stems to yield person-specific forms.
