Keveredhetnek

Keveredhetnek is a Hungarian verb form meaning that multiple subjects may become mixed or be mixed. It is the third-person plural present potential of the verb keveredni, which describes the process of becoming mixed or mingled. The form is commonly used to express possibility or likelihood in hypothetical or conditional contexts.

Morphology and usage notes: the form keveredhetnek is built from the stem kevered-, the potential suffix -het, and the plural ending -nek, yielding a plural subject construction. It differs from keveredhet (singular) and from keverhetnek (active potential, e.g., “they may mix” in the sense of performing mixing). In practice, keveredhetnek primarily conveys passive or middle meaning: the items themselves may end up mixed, rather than someone actively mixing them.

Examples:

- A különböző összetevők keveredhetnek, ha a hőmérséklet megfelelő. (The different ingredients may be mixed if the temperature is right.)

- Ezek az adatok keveredhetnek egymással, ha nincs ellenőrzés. (These data may become mixed with one another if there is no control.)

- A kóstolás során ízek keveredhetnek, és új ízélmény alakulhat ki. (During tasting, flavors may blend and create a new taste.)
