kifejthet

Kifejthet is a Hungarian verb form that appears in discussions of Hungarian grammar rather than as a widely used standalone verb. It is derived from the infinitive kifejteni, which means to elaborate, develop, or spell out. The form kifejthet is built from the root kifejt- with a modal suffix that expresses possibility or capability, placing it within the larger system of Hungarian finite verb forms. Its exact interpretation depends on context and auxiliary material, and it typically functions as part of a larger conjugation rather than as an independent dictionary entry.

In practice, kifejthet is discussed primarily in grammatical descriptions as an example of how the same root can generate related forms with different modal meanings. Depending on the surrounding tense, mood, and person, its sense is generally related to “could elaborate” or “can elaborate,” though the standard, everyday way to express such ideas more clearly is through other, more common forms such as kifejtheti or kifejti in combination with appropriate auxiliary words or endings.

Usage notes:

- The term is more likely to be encountered in linguistic or educational contexts focused on Hungarian verb morphology than in ordinary prose.

- In common writing and speech, speakers typically use the infinitive kifejteni to denote the act of elaborating, or the preferred modal forms like kifejtheti to express possibility.

Relation to related terms:
