felébredhet

Felébredhet is a Hungarian verb form that expresses possibility. It derives from the verb felébred (to wake up, to come to consciousness) with the suffix -het, which marks the potential or possibility mood. Consequently, felébredhet means “may wake up” or “could wake up,” depending on context. It can be used with different subjects, for example ő felébredhet (he/she/it may wake up).

Formation and grammar: The base felébred is combined with the potential suffix -het to indicate uncertainty or potentiality in the present. This form belongs to the present potential mood. Hungarian allows similar potential forms for other persons, such as felébredhetnek (they may wake up) or felébredhetnék (I might wake up), with the exact endings varying by person and number. The basic, common usage remains: felébredhet signals that waking up is possible under given conditions or time.

Usage: Felébredhet is typically used when the speaker expresses speculation, possibility, or conditional likelihood. It does not assert that waking up will occur, only that it could occur. It can appear in statements about people or animals and is common in narrative or explanatory contexts where outcomes are uncertain.

Examples:

- A beteg felébredhet reggel. (The patient may wake up in the morning.)

- Lehet, hogy felébredhet a baba az éjszaka folyamán. (Perhaps the baby could wake up during the night.)
