Kimutathatóan

Kimutathatóan is a Hungarian adverb derived from the adjective kimutatható, which itself comes from the verb kimutat, meaning “to reveal” or “to exhibit.” The suffix -ható marks a verb as passive and potential, thus kimutatható literally translates to “capable of being revealed.” Adding the adverbial suffix –an transforms the adjective into an adverb, so kimutathatóan means “in a way that can be revealed” or “in a detectable manner.”

The word is used primarily in formal or technical contexts such as legal documents, scientific reports, and investigative journalism. It describes evidence, data, or phenomena that can be objectively identified or proven. For example, a forensic report might state that a chemical compound was detected kimutathatóan, indicating that its presence was confirmed by reliable tests. In legal texts the phrase can describe circumstantial evidence that can be made demonstrable through documentation or testimony.

Conjugation of the base verb kimutatható has no standard spoken equivalence, as the adverb is typically used as an isolated modifier rather than part of a complex sentence. Due to its specialized nature, kimutathatóan is rarely encountered in everyday conversation. It is often synonymized with terms like "megjavíthatóan" (in a way that can be improved) although the latter has a slightly different nuance. In many cases, "láthatóan" (visibly) or "megterszélt" (obviously) may be used by non‑specialists to convey a similar sense without the technical specificity of kimutathatóan.
