Tervezhetek

Tervezhetek is a Hungarian verb form that expresses possibility or ability in the first-person singular of the verb tervezni (to plan). It belongs to the potential mood, formed with the suffix -het and the personal ending -ek, yielding tervezhetek meaning “I can plan” or “I may plan.”

Formation and morphology: The base stem tervez- takes the potential suffix -het to form tervezhet-, to which the first-person singular ending -ek is added, resulting in tervezhetek. The -het/-het suffix follows the usual Hungarian vowel harmony rules, so different stems may take -hat or -het in other forms; with tervez, -het is used.

Usage: Tervezhetek is used to indicate that the speaker has the ability or possibility to plan something, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It is less common in everyday speech than the more direct tudok tervezni (“I can plan”), but it is correct and clear in written or formal language. It can be combined with time frames or conditions, for example: “Ha van rá időm, tervezhetek egy utazást” (If I have time, I can plan a trip).

Examples: Én tervezhetek egy új projektet. Ha megkapom a megrendelést, tervezhetek egy ütemtervet. Possible, but more common alternatives in casual speech include “tudok tervezni” or “kialakíthatom a tervet.”
