Kommunikálhatnak

Kommunikálhatnak is a Hungarian verb form derived from kommunikálni ("to communicate"). It represents the third-person plural present potential mood, used to say that they can or may communicate. In English, it corresponds to "they can communicate" or "they may communicate." The potential mood expresses possibility rather than certainty and is common in neutral or descriptive contexts as well as hypothetical or conditional statements.

Morphology: The infinitive is kommunikálni; the stem is kommunikál-. The suffix -hat(-het) marks the potential mood, and the ending -nak/-nek indicates a third-person plural subject, yielding kommunikálhatnak. The form is typically used when referring to a group (ők) that could communicate under certain conditions.

Usage: It appears in neutral descriptions of capabilities that depend on conditions, in planning, negotiations, or hypothetical scenarios. It is not a definite statement of ability.

Examples: A résztvevők kommunikálhatnak a jelzések alapján. Ha a szükséges eszközök rendelkezésre állnak, kommunikálhatnak egymással. Az új protokoll lehetővé teszi, hogy a résztvevők kommunikálhatnak egymással.
