hibalehetséggel

Hibalehetséggel is a Hungarian phrase meaning “with the possibility of error” or “subject to error.” It is used to flag that a statement, measurement, or conclusion may not be exact and should be interpreted with caution. The expression commonly appears in scientific reports, technical documentation, and formal communications to acknowledge uncertainty.

The term is formed from hiba (error) and lehetőség (possibility), with the instrumental suffix -vel indicating accompaniment. In use, hibalehetséggel functions as a modifier that accompanies the noun or clause it qualifies, signaling that the content carries some degree of uncertainty.

Common contexts for hibalehetséggel include data presentation, statistical results, and legal or contractual disclaimers. Example sentences: “Az adatok hibalehetséggel terheltek” (The data are subject to error). “A becslés hibalehetséggel értelmezendő” (The estimate must be interpreted with a possibility of error). The phrase is more typical in formal prose and technical writing than in everyday speech.

In English, close equivalents are “with a margin of error,” “subject to error,” or, more explicitly, “the results are shown with an error risk.” For greater clarity, writers may replace hibalehetséggel with more precise formulations that quantify uncertainty or specify the source of potential error.
