Megjavítható

Megjavítható is a Hungarian adjective that means "repairable" or "able to be repaired." It describes objects, devices or systems that can be fixed after malfunction rather than being disposed of. The term is commonly used in product descriptions, consumer guides, and sustainability discussions to indicate maintainability and potential for longer use.

Etymology and form: The word is formed from the verb javítani (to repair) with the suffix -ható, which marks capability, and the prefix meg-, giving a nuance of the property being present or attainable. It is closely related to the simpler javítható (repairable) and is often used in more formal or technical contexts where emphasis on repairability is important.

Usage and contexts: In Hungary, megjavítható appears in discussions around the Right to Repair, consumer protection, and environmental sustainability. It is commonly used to describe electronics, appliances, furniture, vehicles, and industrial equipment for which spare parts, service information, or repair services are accessible. Labels or specifications that highlight megjavítható properties aim to inform consumers about a product’s longevity and potential for rehabilitation rather than replacement.
