Tesztelhetnek

Tesztelhetnek is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb tesztelni, meaning to test. It expresses potentiality or ability for a plural third-person subject, roughly corresponding to "they can test" or "they may test" in English. The form is commonly used in written and spoken Hungarian to indicate that a group is able to perform testing actions.

Morphology and formation: tesztelhetnek is built from the verb stem tesztel-, the potential mood suffix -het, and the third-person plural present ending -nek. This combination yields a present-tense meaning of capability for a plural subject. The base forms for other persons include tesztelhetünk (we can test), tesztelhettek (you can test, plural informal), tesztelhetnek (they can test), and tesztelhetek (I can test).

Usage and examples: The form is used in contexts such as software development, research, quality assurance, and planning to express that a group has the capacity to conduct testing. Examples include: "A csoport tagjai tesztelhetnek új szoftververziókat." "A vizsgálat résztvevői tesztelhetnek különböző prototípusokat." The choice of tesztelhetnek conveys possibility or permission for multiple subjects to perform testing activities.

Relation to other forms: tesztelhetnek belongs to a family of Hungarian potential mood forms, where -het/-hetnek signals modality of possibility, while the present tense endings vary by person and number. Other persons of the same verb form illustrate how the meaning shifts with person and number, such as tesztelhetünk (we can test) or tesztelhettek (you can test).
