Megemelhet

Megemelhet is a Hungarian verb form meaning “can lift” or “could lift.” It expresses possibility or ability to perform the action of the verb megemelni, which means to lift up or raise. The form is created by attaching the suffix -het to the stem megemel-, a common Hungarian mechanism for signaling potential mood or capability. As a finite verb form, megemelhet is used to indicate that a subject has the capacity to lift something.

In conjugation, megemelhet corresponds to the third-person singular present form: “ő megemelhet,” meaning “he/she/it can lift.” Other persons have related forms built with the same suffix: megemelhetsz (you can lift), megemelhetünk (we can lift), megemelhettek (you all can lift), megemelhetnek (they can lift). The infinitive is megemelni. The form is commonly found in both literal and figurative contexts, where lifting is either physical or symbolic.

Usage notes: megemelhet is used when describing capability rather than a definite event. It can apply to machines or people capable of lifting a weight, as well as to metaphorical lifts, such as raising prices or levels, depending on context. For example, a crane might megemelhet an object, or a policy might megemelhetnek adók. The word is part of a family of megemel- compounds forming related nouns like megemelés (the act of lifting).

Etymology: the word derives from megemelni (to lift up) with the prefix meg- and the modal suffix -het, indicating possibility.
