Kísérhetnek

Kísérhetnek is a Hungarian verb form derived from the infinitive kísérni, meaning "to accompany." This form expresses possibility or permission and corresponds to the English "they may accompany" or "they could accompany" when used with a third-person plural subject.

Morphology: The form is built from the stem kísér- plus the suffix -het- (the Hungarian marker of possibility) and the 3rd-person plural present ending -nek, yielding kísérhetnek. The same verb in the present indicative would be kísérnek ("they accompany"). The -het- suffix marks the mood as possible; the -nek ending indicates the 3rd-person plural subject.

Usage: It is used to discuss what is possible or allowed in a given situation. It often appears in formal or polite contexts, statements about future arrangements, or questions about what could happen.

Examples:

- A diákok kísérhetnek minket a múzeumba. (The students may accompany us to the museum.)

- A kísérő személyzet kísérhet minket a repülőtéren. (The accompanying staff may accompany us at the airport.)

In questions, one might ask: Kísérhetnek minket? (May they accompany us?) This form thus communicates allowance or possibility without asserting that the action will occur.
