Végezhetik

Végezhetik is a Hungarian verb form derived from végezni, meaning to finish or to perform. The form conveys possibility or permission for multiple subjects to carry out the action of finishing or completing something. In translation, végezhetik is typically rendered as “they may finish” or “they could finish,” depending on context.

Morphology and construction: végezhetik is formed by adding the potential (modal) suffix -het to the verb stem végez-, followed by a plural third-person ending in this construction. The exact personal ending can vary with surrounding grammatical factors, but végezhetik consistently marks a plural subject and a mood of possibility rather than certainty. As with other Hungarian modal forms, its meaning relies on the sentence context, including time frames and any stated conditions.

Usage: The form is most common in formal or written contexts, particularly in instructions, policies, or scenarios discussing what is possible for a group to accomplish. It answers questions of capability or permission rather than asserting a definite outcome.

Example:

- A diákok végezhetik a feladatokat időre. (The students may finish the tasks on time.)
