Okozhatják

Okоzhatják is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they may cause” or “they can cause.” It is the third-person plural form of the verb okozni (to cause) in the potential mood, which expresses possibility rather than certainty. The form is built from the root okoz-, joined with the potential suffix -hat/-het and the plural ending -ják, signaling that the subject is plural. When used with a definite direct object, the verb form commonly appears as okozhatják together with the object, as in the example below.

In use, okozhatják is employed to discuss possible consequences or outcomes that a group or set of actions might produce. It appears in analytical, policy, or risk-assessment contexts, where conclusions are not asserted as fact but treated as potential results. For example: A döntéseik okozhatják a problémát. (“Their decisions may cause the problem.”) A környezeti tényezők okozhatják a késést. (“Environmental factors may cause the delay.”) These constructions illustrate how the phrase attaches to a plural subject and a following definite object.

Notes on form and context: okozhatják is specifically the plural, potential-mood form. Related forms cover other persons and tenses, such as okozhat (he/she/it may cause) and okozhatod (you may cause). The form is common in formal or descriptive Hungarian, where authors discuss possible causal relationships rather than stating definite causation.
