Láthatók

Láthatók is a Hungarian word form used to express that something is visible or can be seen, typically matching a plural subject. In standard usage, látható is the base adjective meaning "visible" or "able to be seen," and láthatók is the plural present form that functions predicatively in clauses with a plural subject. The construction is common in descriptive and factual writing, as well as in everyday observation statements.

Morphology and usage notes:

- láthatók agrees with a plural subject and appears in present tense predicates, roughly corresponding to "are visible" or "can be seen" in English.

- The singular counterpart is látható, used with singular subjects (for example, A hegy látható a távolból – The mountain is visible from afar).

- The form stems from the verb or participial root related to látni (to see) and the suffixes that create predicates meaning “visible” or “able to be seen.”

Typical contexts:

- Descriptive statements about landscapes, objects, or features that can be perceived: A hegyek láthatók a távolból. The mountains are visible from the distance.

- Observational notes in travel writing, geography, or natural science: A városok láthatók a térképen. Several cities are visible on the map.

- Impersonal or informational sentences that report what can be seen: A részletek láthatók a felvételen. The details are visible in the recording.

Related terms include látható (singular), láthatóság (visibility), and látás (vision). Láthatók thus functions as the plural predicate form indicating visibility for multiple subjects within a clause.
