indítható

Indítható is a Hungarian participial adjective meaning “able to be started” or “startable.” It is formed from the verb indít, meaning “to start” or “to initiate,” with the suffix -ható, which expresses possibility. The resulting form indítható describes something that can be started or initiated, and it follows standard Hungarian orthography and vowel harmony rules.

Usage and meaning: Indítható is commonly used in technical or formal contexts to describe devices, software, processes, or procedures that can be started. It implies that the initiating action can be performed by a user, a system, or an external control. In product specifications and manuals you may encounter phrases such as: “Ez a készülék indítható egy gombnyomással,” meaning “This device can be started with a button press,” or “A rendszer indítható automatikusan,” meaning “The system can be started automatically.”

Morphology and related forms: Indítható can function attributively before a noun (indítható rendszer, indítható folyamat) or predicatively (A rendszer indítható). The form is part of a broader pattern with -ható/-hető to express capability, as in other verbs forming adjectives like olvasható or futatható. Related prefixes such as beindítható or elindítható convey nuance about who or how the starting action occurs (e.g., starting up or initiating in a particular way), though usage tends to remain within technical or instructional registers.

Notes: Indítható is a neutral, technical term rather than a colloquial one. Its precise interpretation depends on context, but it universally signals that starting a given object or process is possible. It contrasts with completed or non-startable states described by alternative phrasing in Hungarian.
