férhet
Férhet is the third person singular potential form of the Hungarian verb fér, which means "to fit," "to have room," or figuratively "to be appropriate" or "to be able to endure." The suffix -het/-hat in Hungarian marks potentiality or possibility, so férhet typically translates as "may fit," "might fit," or "could fit."
As a verb form, férhet expresses that fitting is possible but not certain. It is used both
- Ez a doboz talán a polcra férhet. (This box might fit on the shelf.)
- Rám férhet egy kis pihenés. (I could use a little rest. — literal: a rest may fit on
Negation and interrogation follow regular Hungarian patterns (nem férhet — "may not fit"; férhet-e? — "might it fit?").
