Sorolhatók

Sorolhatók is a Hungarian verb form meaning that something can be enumerated or listed. It derives from the verb sorolni (to list, to enumerate) with the suffix -ható indicating possibility and the plural ending -k, so it is used with a plural subject. Functionally it behaves like a participial adjective, often appearing predicatively or as part of a compound predicate.

Examples of its use include sentences such as: A tételek sorolhatók a következő kategóriákba. Az adatok sorolhatók különböző szempontok szerint. These illustrate how the form states that items are capable of being placed in a list or sequence.

Usage and scope: In everyday language and in many technical texts, sorolhatók describes items that can be listed or catalogued. It is common in inventories, manuals, and data descriptions to indicate that a set of elements can be organized into a specific order or grouped into categories. In mathematical contexts, Hungarian speakers more often use számlálható (countable) or számlálható halmaz for the formal notion of countability, whereas sorolhatók tends to emphasize practical enumeration or listing rather than cardinality. Nevertheless, the form is understood broadly as a statement about listability or enumerability of items.

Related forms and synonyms include sorolható, felsorolható, and felsorolható, each with subtle nuances about the emphasis on listing, ordering, or cataloguing.
