javítható

Javítható is a Hungarian adjective meaning capable of being repaired or improved. It describes objects, systems, or conditions that can undergo repair, restoration, or enhancement rather than being permanently unusable. The word derives from the verb javít (to repair) plus the suffix -ható/-hető, which marks possibility or potential in Hungarian.

Morphology and related forms: The suffix -ható/-hető is used to form adjectives from verbs to express feasibility. Thus javítható literally means “able to be repaired.” Related examples include olvasható (readable), mozgatható (movable), and megközelíthető (approachable). In discourse, javítható generally emphasizes possibility rather than whether repair has actually been performed.

Usage and contexts: The term is common in technical, consumer, and maintenance contexts. In electronics, equipment, or software, a defect described as javítható indicates it can be fixed. Examples: “Ez a hiba javítható a szoftverfrissítéssel.” “A javítható eszközök hosszú távon költséghatékonyabbak lehetnek.” In consumer protection or product documentation, javítható may be used to convey repair feasibility under warranties or service programs.

Nuances: Javítható does not imply that repair has already occurred; it denotes feasibility. The opposite construction is nem javítható or, less commonly, javíthatatlan, both indicating that repair is not possible. The term is neutral and widely understood across registers, from technical manuals to everyday speech.
