Nyerhetsz

Nyerhetsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning "you can win" or "you may win." It is the second-person singular present form of the verb nyerni, to win, expressed in the potential (possibility) mood.

Grammatically, nyerhetsz is built from the verb stem nyer-, the potential suffix -het, and the second-person singular ending -sz. In Hungarian, the -het/-hat suffix denotes possibility or ability, and the personal endings adjust for the subject. The result nyerhetsz specifically indicates present-time possibility for the “you” subject.

Usage-wise, nyerhetsz is used when talking about what someone is able or likely to achieve in the present or in a given situation, often in hypothetical or encouraging contexts. It can appear in advice, forecasts, or conditional-style statements without requiring a separate conditional mood.

Examples:

- Ha sokat edzel, nyerhetsz a versenyen. (If you train a lot, you can win the competition.)

- Lehet, hogy nyerhetsz, ha szerencséd van. (You may win if you are lucky.)

Related forms include other person-number combinations of nyerni with the same potential suffix, such as nyerhet (he/she/it may win) or nyerhetünk (we may win). The form is distinct from the simple present nyersz/nyer, which states a definite win rather than a possibility.
