Társulhatnak

Társulhatnak is a Hungarian verb form that expresses the possibility for multiple subjects to join together or form an association. The infinitive is társulni, meaning to join, unite, or form an alliance, and társulhatnak is the third-person plural form in the potential mood, indicating that they could join or may join.

Grammatical notes: társulhatnak is built from the stem társul with the potential suffix -hat/-het and the ők ending -nak/-nek, yielding a form used for plural subjects. It contrasts with társulnak, which is the present indicative for “they join.” Thus társulhatnak emphasizes possibility or likelihood rather than a definite action.

Usage: The term is common in organizational, legal, and project contexts where groups consider forming a partnership, consortium, or joint venture. It can describe actions by companies, institutions, or organizations contemplating collaboration to achieve a shared goal. In broader discourse, it may also denote people joining forces in campaigns or community initiatives.

Related terms: the noun társulás means an association or consortium; related verbs include összefog (to join forces), együttműködik (to cooperate), and egyesül (to unite). The word’s etymology ties to társ, meaning companion or partner, reflecting the idea of joining with others.

Examples: A vállalatok társulhatnak egy közös kutatási projektben. Társulhatnak a helyi önkormányzattal egy közös fejlesztési program megvalósítására. These constructions convey that the parties may form a collaboration or coalition.
