Megoldhatatlan

Megoldhatatlan is a Hungarian adjective meaning "unsolvable" or "impossible to solve." It is formed from the verb megoldani (to solve) with the suffix -hat, indicating possibility, and the negative suffix -atlan, producing the sense of “not solvable.” The word is used to describe problems, puzzles, equations, or questions that have no known solution or cannot be solved by any method.

In mathematics and computer science, megoldhatatlan is often used informally to describe problems without a general algorithmic solution. For precise technical language, terms such as eldönthetetlen (undecidable) are used; megoldhatatlan can cover a broader sense of insolvable under given constraints or in practical contexts. In everyday language, the term can convey that a situation is hopeless or intractable, extending beyond strict formal solvability.

Common collocations include megoldhatatlan feladat (unsolvable task), megoldhatatlan kérdés (unanswerable question), and megoldhatatlan rejtély (hopeless mystery). The word thus spans technical usage in logic and computation as well as general, non-technical speech, retaining a neutral to descriptive tone rather than prescriptive judgment.
