lehetfügg

lehetfügg is a Hungarian word that translates to "dependent on possibility" or "contingent." It describes a situation, action, or state that is not fixed or certain, but rather relies on certain conditions or potential outcomes. The term is often used in philosophical or logical contexts to discuss propositions that are neither necessarily true nor necessarily false, but could be either depending on external factors.

For instance, a decision that is lehetfügg would mean its execution depends on whether a certain event occurs. If a meeting is "lehetfügg" on the availability of a specific person, it means the meeting will only happen if that person is free. This contrasts with a necessary event, which would happen regardless of conditions, or an impossible event, which cannot happen.

The concept is also relevant in everyday language when discussing plans or expectations. When someone says their attendance at an event is "lehetfügg," they are indicating it is not guaranteed and is subject to change based on other factors in their life. The word implies a degree of uncertainty and a reliance on future circumstances to determine the final outcome. It is a nuanced term that captures the essence of conditionality.
