Változhatsz

Változhatsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning "you can change" or "you may change." It is the second-person singular present form expressing possibility or ability, built from the stem változ- (to change) with the modal/possibility suffix -hat/-het and the personal ending -sz. The base verb is változni, or more commonly understood from változ- as part of the verb változni, which means to undergo change or to change.

Morphology and usage notes: változhatsz combines the rootváltoz- with -hat/-het to indicate possibility, and adds the second-person singular ending, resulting in a form used when addressing someone directly. It can convey either ability ("you can change") or permission in a broader sense, depending on context. There are related forms for other persons and tenses, such as változhat (he/she can change) and változom (I change), as well as past and conditional variants.

Common contexts: változhatsz appears in motivational, instructional, or reflective speech where a speaker informs or encourages someone that change is possible. It can be used in personal development, behavior change, or discussions about adapting to circumstances. It is distinct from simply saying someone changes by habit; the form explicitly marks potential.

Examples:

- Ha elhatározod, változhatsz. (If you make up your mind, you can change.)

- Változhatsz, ha hajlandó vagy dolgozni rajta. (You can change if you’re willing to work on it.)

Related terms include változás (change), változatos (diverse/varied), and változtatható (changeable).
