letölthet

Letölthet is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb letölteni, meaning to download. The form expresses potential or capability, roughly translating as can download or able to be downloaded depending on the context. In everyday use, the adjective letölthető is more common when describing resources that can be downloaded, meaning downloadable.

Etymology and grammar: Letölthet is built from the stem letölt- (root of the verb to download) plus the suffix -het, which marks potential mood. The base verb is letölteni; the -het suffix indicates that the subject is able to perform the action. The participial adjective letölthető adds the -ő ending to form a descriptor meaning downloadable.

Usage: In technical writing and user interfaces, letölthet may occur as a finite verb form describing capability, though for describing a resource as being available for download the standard form letölthető is typically used. A typical sentence to convey downloadability would use the adjective: letölthető, as in This document is downloadable from the website. Related nouns include letöltés (the act of downloading) and letöltő (a downloader or download tool).

See also: letöltés, letöltő, letölthető. These related terms cover the noun form for downloading, the device or program that performs downloads, and the common adjective describing something that can be downloaded.
