Megnövelhetik

Megnövelhetik is a Hungarian verb form that translates roughly as “they may increase” or “they could increase.” It is the 3rd person plural present potential mood form of the verb megnövelni, which means to increase or enlarge. The potential mood expresses possibility or hypothetical action rather than a definite statement.

Formation: Megnövelhetik is built from the stem megnövel-, the potential suffix -het, and the 3rd person plural ending -ik. In Hungarian, other subjects can take related forms, such as megnövelheti (he/she/it may increase) or megnövelhetjük (we may increase), depending on the subject and person.

Usage: This form is used to indicate that a group or several actors may cause an increase in something. It often appears in formal, technical, or policy-related contexts, including economic analyses, risk assessments, and strategic planning. It expresses possibility rather than a definite outcome.

Examples:

- A vállalatok megnövelhetik a nyereségüket az új értékesítési csatornák bevezetésével. (The companies may increase their profits by introducing new sales channels.)

- A kormány intézkedései megnövelhetik a gazdaság növekedését. (The government’s measures may increase the economy’s growth.)
