Választhatók

Választhatók is a Hungarian word meaning “selectable” or “can be chosen.” It is a participial form derived from the verb válaszolni? No, from választani, with the suffix -ható/-hető that expresses capability. The form választható (singular) becomes választhatók in the plural, and it can function as an adjective or as a predicative complement in a sentence.

Morphology and grammar: The base is the verb választ- (from választani, to choose). The suffix -ható/-hető indicates possibility or capability, with vowel harmony determining whether -ható or -hető is used; in this case the stem’s back vowels lead to -ható, yielding választható. When referring to multiple items, the plural ending -k is added, producing választhatók. As a grammatical unit, választhatók usually modifies a plural noun or appears in predicative position: Az opciók választhatók. The phrase conveys that the options can be selected.

Usage and contexts: választhatók is common in technical, instructional, and UI-related language to describe elements that users may select. It is often found in product documentation, forms, and software interfaces to indicate that certain options are available for choice. It can also appear in more general prose to describe any plural items that are eligible for selection.

Related forms: The singular counterpart is választható (meaning “selectable” or “can be chosen” for a single item). Related expressions include kiválasztható (more explicitly “can be selected by choosing”) and választható opciók, which would be a natural collocation for “selectable options.”
