Kezelheti

Kezelheti is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb kezelni, which means to handle, manage, or treat. The form is used to express possibility or potential ability for a third-person singular subject, roughly translating to “may treat” or “could handle” in English. It is constructed by attaching the potential suffix -heti to the verb stem kez-zel-, with vowel harmony shaping the ending.

In practice, kezehheti appears in contexts where it is stated that someone or something has the capacity to perform the action of handling or treating something. This can occur in medical, technical, legal, or everyday language. For example, Az orvos kezelheti a beteget means “The doctor may treat the patient.” Ez a szoftver kezelheti a hibát means “This software can handle the fault.” The usage often conveys possibility, capability, or permission, depending on the broader sentence and context.

Kezelheti is one member of a family of Hungarian potential forms built with the -het/-heti suffix. Related forms include kezelhet (a more concise potential form) and the adjective kezélhető, meaning “treatable.” These forms illustrate how Hungarian marks modality and capability directly within verb morphology rather than solely through auxiliary words.

Overall, kezélheti functions as a standard way to discuss whether someone or something has the ability to handle, manage, or treat a given task or condition. It is common in formal, technical, and everyday discourse.
