Tisztítható

Tisztítható is a Hungarian adjective meaning "able to be cleaned." It is formed from the verb tisztít, “to clean,” with the suffix -ható (or -hető, depending on vowel harmony), which marks possibility or capability. The word describes something that can be cleaned using typical cleaning methods without being damaged.

In usage, tisztítható typically modifies a noun, as in tisztítható felület (cleanable surface), tisztítható bevonat (cleanable coating), or tisztítható anyag (cleanable material). It is common in product labeling, technical documentation, and architectural or interior design contexts. The term is neutral and does not imply sanitation or disinfection; a surface can be cleanable without being sterile.

Related terms include tisztíthatatlan (not cleanable) and mosható (washable). While mosható emphasizes the ability to wash with water, tisztítható is a broader descriptor that covers various cleaning methods and conditions. The label of a surface as cleanable does not automatically guarantee ease of cleaning in all environments; some cleanable surfaces may require particular cleaners or procedures and may be sensitive to abrasion or chemicals.

Etymology: tisztítható derives from tisztít “to clean” plus the suffix -ható, a Hungarian marker of possibility. The form is widely used in everyday language and technical writing to describe the cleaning characteristics of materials, coatings, and surfaces.
