haladhatsz

Haladhatsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning "you may proceed" or "you can move forward." It is the second person singular present form in the potential mood of the verb halad, which means to advance, proceed, or move forward. The form is created by combining the stem halad with the potential suffix -hat- and the personal ending -sz, yielding haladhatsz.

Usage of haladhatsz is to grant permission or indicate that a person is allowed to proceed in a given situation. It is more common in spoken Hungarian and in written instructions or guidelines where explicit permission is stated. It is somewhat synonymous with mehetsz in many contexts, but haladhatsz emphasizes allowance rather than mere capability, and can sound more formal or procedural.

Examples:

- Haladhatsz tovább a kijelölt útvonalon. (You may proceed further along the designated path.)

- Most zöld a lámpa, haladhatsz. (Now the light is green, you may proceed.)

- Rendben, haladhatsz, folytasd a feladatot. (Okay, you may proceed, continue the task.)

Notes:

In everyday speech, speakers often choose simpler forms like mehetsz or menj tovább; haladhatsz appears more in signs, rules, or careful instructions. The distinction between permission and ability is subtle and context usually clarifies.

Related terms include halad (to move forward), lehet (can/may), mehetsz (you may go), and haladás (progress). Etymologically, haladhatsz derives from halad plus the potential suffix -hat- and the 2nd-person singular ending -sz.
