Láthatóvá

láthatóvá is a Hungarian non-finite verbal form built from the adjective látható (visible) with the suffix -vá. It expresses the notion of becoming visible or of making something visible. The form is typically used in constructions with verbs such as tenni (to make) or válni (to become), indicating a transformation or the result of an action.

Morphology and usage

The base látható means visible. By adding -vá, the result is a non-finite form that can function as the infinitive-like element in phrases such as láthatóvá tenni (to make visible) or láthatóvá válni (to become visible). It does not stand alone as a finite verb; instead it appears within larger verb phrases that describe the process or outcome of rendering something detectable to the eye or to the user.

Examples

- A szoftver lehetővé teszi a rejtett elemek láthatóvá tételét. (The software enables the rendering of hidden elements visible.)

- A kép láthatóvá válik, miután a fényerőt növelik. (The image becomes visible after increasing the brightness.)

- A felületet láthatóvá tették a felhasználónak, hogy közelebb hozzáférjen. (The interface was made visible to the user.)

Etymology and related forms

láthatóvá derives from látható (visible) plus the infinitival suffix -vá. Related constructions include láthatóvá válni (to become visible), láthatóvá tenni (to render visible), and other -vá/-vé forms used to express transformation or outcome. In technical and instructional Hungarian, láthatóvá is common in discussions of accessibility and UI visibility.
