Vonhatók

Vonhatók is a Hungarian grammatical form used to express potentiality related to the verb vonni, meaning to pull or draw. It is the plural form associated with the suffix -ható/-hető that marks capability, combined with the plural ending -k. In effect, vonhatók translates roughly as “they can be pulled” or “pullable (plural)” and is commonly used as an attributive or predicative descriptor in descriptive or technical prose.

Usage and context

The form appears when describing objects or components that may be moved by pulling or drawing. It is typical in mechanical, engineering, or logistics contexts, where properties such as movability or dragability are enumerated. Because Hungarian adjectives ending in -ható/-hető agree in number, vonhatók is used with plural nouns, while the singular form is vonható (pullable) or related variants depending on number and case.

Morphology and relation to other forms

Vonhatók is built from the stem von- (pull/draw) plus the capability suffix -ható/-hető, with the plural ending -k. It can function as a predicate (A részek vonhatók) or as an attributive descriptor before a plural noun, depending on sentence structure. In everyday language, speakers may opt for verbs or alternative adjectives such as húzható (pullable) or mozgatható for more precise nuance.

Notes

The exact nuance of vonhatók depends on context, and in some cases other synonyms may be preferred. The form is a productive example of Hungarian potential mood in adjectives derived from verbs.
