felölelheti

Felölelheti is a Hungarian verb form derived from felölelni, meaning to hug someone by wrapping one’s arms around them. The prefix fel- adds the sense of surrounding or enveloping, and ölel means to hug. The form felölelheti corresponds to the third-person singular of the potential mood attached to the infinitive felölelni, signaling possibility or hypothetical action: he/she could hug (someone).

In use, felölelheti expresses that such an embrace is possible or hypothetical, rather than a definite statement. The exact meaning depends on context, including whether the sentence refers to a specific person and how it is framed grammatically (for example with modal nuance or reported speech). It is a form you would encounter in written Hungarian and in descriptions of hypothetical scenarios; in everyday speech speakers may prefer other constructions to express possibility.

Example:

- A barát felölelheti a családját. (A friend could hug his/her family.)

- Ő felölelheti a partnerét a jelenetben. (He could embrace his/her partner in the scene.)

Etymology and related forms:

The word is built from fel- plus ölel; related forms include the bare infinitive felölelni (to hug around) and the noun ölelés (hug). The form felölelheti is part of the broader family of Hungarian verb forms that use the prefix fel- to indicate enveloping or surrounding, combined with the root ölel to express the act of embracing.
