Megnevezhet

Megnevezhet is a Hungarian verb form derived from megnevezni, meaning to name or to designate. It forms the present potential mood, signaling ability or possibility, and is typically used in the third person singular without an explicit personal ending. The form results from combining the prefix meg-, the root nevez-, and the suffix -het.

In usage, megnevezhet expresses that someone or something can name or designate something. It appears mainly in formal or descriptive contexts, such as reports, proposals, or scholarly writing, where the ability to name items or categories is being discussed.

Examples include: A bizottság megnevezhet három nyertest. The committee can name three winners. A kutató megnevezhet több lehetséges változatot. The researcher can name several possible variants. These sentences illustrate how megnevezhet assigns potential capability to the subject of the clause.

Megnevezhet versus megnevezhető: megnevezhet denotes an active potential, i.e., the subject can perform the act of naming. Megnevezhető, by contrast, expresses a passive potential, meaning that the thing can be named or designated, often by someone else. Both forms share the same root nevez and the prefix meg-, but they differ in mood and voice.

Etymology and related terms: The prefix meg- adds a sense of designation or completion, while the suffix -het marks potential mood. Related terms include nevez (to name), nevezés (the act of naming), and megnevezés (designation or naming).
