Kijelölhet

Kijelölhet is a Hungarian verb meaning “can be selected” or “may be chosen.” It is formed from the verb kijelölni (to designate or select) with the potential suffix -het, used to express possibility or ability. The stem kijelöl- comes from kijelölni, where ki- is a prefix adding a sense of marking out or designating and jelöl means to mark or indicate.

Usage and meaning: The form is commonly used to describe elements in user interfaces, forms, or documents that are selectable. Examples include sentences such as: Ez a válasz kijelölhető a listából (This answer can be selected from the list) and A gomb kijelölhet, ha a feltételek teljesülnek (The button can be selected if the conditions are met). The participle form kijelölhető is often used as an adjective: kijelölhető elem means “a selectable item.” In everyday language, kijelölhet expresses a possibility about a subject’s ability to be designated or chosen, rather than an action performed by a subject.

Grammatical notes: The suffix -het/-heti attaches to the verb stem without marking person or number, so the form can refer to an indefinite subject or be used impersonally. Related forms include kijelölni (to designate/select) and the noun kijelölés (designation or marking). The term is closely related to jelölés (marking or designation) and is widely used in technical, procedural, and UI contexts.
