adhatnánk

Adhatnánk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we could give” or “we might be able to give.” It is the first-person plural form of adni (to give) in the potential mood, created by attaching the potential suffix -hat/-het to the stem ad-, and adding the 1st-person plural conditional suffix -nánk. The result expresses hypothetical ability rather than a definite action and is commonly used in offers, proposals, or conditional statements.

Usage of adh atnánk appears in contexts where the speaker proposes a possible action or keeps a suggestion tentative. It can soften statements and frame what follows as optional or contingent. For example, Adhatnánk egy példát, hogy érthető legyen. Adhatnánk neked egy tippet. These uses convey a polite or collaborative tone, such as suggesting a course of action without asserting it as certain.

Relation to other forms: Adhatnánk is related to other mood forms built from adni. For instance, adnánk means “we would give” (conditional mood), and adhat (overall form meaning “he/she/it could give”). The difference between adh atnánk and adnánk lies in mood nuance: adh atnánk expresses hypothetical ability (could be able to give), while adnánk states a conditional intention (we would give). In practice, the choice depends on whether the speaker emphasizes possibility or a definite conditional action.
