Megjelölhettek

Megjelölhettek is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they might have marked" or "they could have marked" in English. It is the past tense, conditional mood, third-person plural form of the verb megjelöl, which means "to mark." This verb is used to express a possibility or uncertainty about a past action of marking.

The verb megjelöl itself can have various meanings depending on the context. It can refer to physically marking something, such as writing on a surface, attaching a label, or placing a tag. It can also be used metaphorically to indicate that something or someone has been identified, characterized, or designated. For example, one might "megjelölhettek" a path, "megjelölhettek" a suspect, or "megjelölhettek" a special occasion.

The conditional mood in Hungarian, as demonstrated by the "-hettek" ending, introduces a sense of doubt or speculation. Therefore, "megjelölhettek" suggests that the speaker is not entirely certain that the marking action took place, but rather that it was a possibility. The sentence structure and surrounding words would provide further clues to the specific scenario being described. For instance, "Azt hittem, hogy megjelölhettek valamit a falon, de nem vagyok biztos benne" translates to "I thought they might have marked something on the wall, but I'm not sure."
