Megnövekedhetünk

Megnövekedhetünk is a Hungarian verb form that expresses an ability or possibility for the subject “we” to become larger or to increase in amount. It is formed from the intransitive verb növekedni (to grow, to increase) with the prefix meg- and the suffix -hetünk, which marks potential mood for the first-person plural.

Grammatically, the form signals a potential or hypothetical change of state for a group that includes the speaker. The prefix meg- indicates a change or completion, while -hetnek/-hetünk marks possibility; in this case, -hetünk attaches to the first-person plural suffix -nk, producing megnövekedhetünk.

Usage notes place the form in contexts of planning, forecasting, or evaluative discussions where growth or increase is not guaranteed but plausible. It can refer to physical size, capacity, revenue, population, or other measurable quantities, depending on the subject matter and context. The phrase is more common in formal or analytical language than in everyday speech.

Related forms include megnövekedhet (third-person singular: “it could grow”) and megnövekedés (noun: “growth” or “increase”). The base verb növekedni and related noun növekedés provide the semantic field of growth and expansion, which megnövekedhetünk explicitly frames from a first-person plural perspective.

Example usage: Ha a termelés hatékonysága javul, megnövekedhetünk a bevételeinkben. Translation: If production efficiency improves, our revenues could increase.
