Visszanyerhet

Visszanyerhet is a Hungarian verb form used to express the possibility that something can be regained or recovered. It is derived from the verb visszanyer- (to regain) with the potential suffix -het/-hető, which signals feasibility or possibility. In everyday language, the form conveys that recovery is feasible under certain conditions, often in discussions about data, documents, rights, or physical objects.

In standard usage, the more common adjectival form visszanyerhető is used to describe recoverability, for example in statements like "Az adatok visszanyerhetők" (The data can be recovered) or "Ez a dokumentum visszanyerhető." The explicit finite form visszanyerhet can appear in some contexts, particularly in older or less common constructions, but it is generally less frequent in contemporary prose. The negative form is nem visszanyerhető, meaning "not recoverable." The past tense or conditional nuances are typically conveyed with other Hungarian verbal forms rather than relying solely on visszanyerhet.

Etymology-wise, visszanyerhet combines vissza- (back, again) with nyer (to gain, win) to express the notion of regaining what was lost. Related terms include visszanyerni (to regain), visszanyerés (regaining, recovery), and visszaszerezni (to retrieve or reclaim). In technical or formal contexts, explicit mention of recoverability is common, whereas everyday usage often prefers the more straightforward visszanyerhető.
