lekérdezhetek

Lekérdezhetek is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I can query” or “May I query.” It is used in contexts involving data retrieval, databases, programming, and information requests, where querying data or asking a system to return information is described.

Morphology and meaning are central to understanding lekérdezhetek. The word is built from the verb lekérdezni (“to query”) with the prefix le- and the suffix -het, which marks possibility or ability, plus the first-person singular ending -ek. The result is a finite verb in the present tense with the potential mood, used to express capability or permission regarding performing a query.

In usage, lekérdezhetek can express both ability and polite permission depending on the sentence structure. Examples include: Lekérdezhetek egy adatbázisból? (“May I query an database?”) or Lekérdezhetek néhány rekordot? (“I can query a few records.”) The form is common in informal to semi-formal communication among developers, data analysts, and IT professionals.

Etymology and related terms: lekérdezhetek derives from lekérdezni (to query) plus le- and -het, with -ek marking the first-person singular. Related terms include lekérdezés (the act of querying), lekérdezéses folyamat (the querying process), and kérdezés (general asking). In computing, a lekérdezés often corresponds to a database query or an API request to retrieve specific information.
