kiemelheted

Kiemelheted is a Hungarian verb form derived from kiemelni, meaning to highlight or to emphasize. It denotes the ability or possibility to perform the action, translated into English as “you can highlight” or “you could highlight.” The form is used with the second person singular, typically in informal contexts such as instructions, guidance, or explanations.

Morphology and usage: kiemelhet- is the stem, the suffix -het marks the potential or ability, and -ed signals the second person singular. In practice, kiemelheted appears in sentences that advise or describe what a reader or writer may do. For example, “Kiemelheted a fontos részt a dokumentumban” means “You can highlight the important part in the document.” The construction is common in language-learning materials and in user-facing guidance where a speaker presents options or capabilities.

Nuances and contexts: kiemelheted emphasizes an option rather than a definite action. It is suitable for instructions, tips, and recommendations, where the speaker presents highlighting as a possible approach. While primarily literal—highlighting text with a marker or formatting—it can also be used metaphorically to indicate emphasizing key points in speech or writing.

Related terms: kiemelni (to highlight), kiemelés (emphasis or highlighting in formatting), kiemelhető (highlightable). The form kiemelheted is one of several person and mood variations derived from kiemelni, reflecting Hungarian’s modal and personal endings in finite verbs.
