Szolgálható

Szolgálható is a Hungarian adjective meaning capable of being used or in a serviceable condition. It describes equipment, tools, or parts that still function and can fulfill their intended purpose. In technical, maintenance, and procurement language it signals that an item remains operational or usable, even if it is older or worn.

Etymology: the word comes from the verb szolgál, meaning to serve or to be of use, with the suffix -ható indicating capability. The nuance is that the object can perform its service or function. The opposite form is nem szolgálható, or more commonly üzemképtelen, meaning not operable.

Usage: in inventory or repair contexts items may be classified as szolgálható, especially after inspection or minor repair. It can apply to machinery, tools, electronic devices, spare parts, or other items intended for use. The term is often contrasted with üzemképtelen or használhatatlan, which denote that an item can no longer be used.

Examples:

- A gép még szolgálható állapotban van. (The machine is still in serviceable condition.)

- Az alkatrész cseréje után a készülék ismét szolgálható. (After replacing the part, the device is serviceable again.)
