elsegítheti

Elsegítheti is a Hungarian verb form derived from segíteni (to help) with the prefix el- and the suffix -heti, used to express potential or possibility in the third person. In standard usage, elsegítheti can be translated as “could help” or “might help,” often referring to a situation where assistance is possible rather than certain.

Morphologically, elsegítheti is a finite verb form that combines the prefix el- with the base segíthet/segíteni and the potential mood suffix -heti. The prefix el- can add nuances such as action related to removal of a hurdle or a deliberate measure, but in many contexts the prefix mainly serves to alter the meaning of the base verb rather than its core action. The form agrees with a third-person subject, though in Hungarian many sentences using elsegítheti are impersonal or have an indefinite subject.

Usage and examples:

- Ez az új megoldás elsegítheti a felhasználókat a beállítások megtalálásában. (This new solution could help users find the settings.)

- A javasolt terv elsegítheti a projekt előrehaladását. (The proposed plan might help the project progress.)

- Ha van rá lehetőség, ez a módszer elsegítheti a dolgozók munkáját. (If there is an opportunity, this method could help the workers’ work.)
