megadhatók

Megadhatók is a Hungarian verbal form used to express possibility. It is the third-person plural present passive form in the potential mood of the verb megadni, meaning “to provide” or “to give.” As such, megadhatók translates roughly as “they can be provided” or “may be given.” The form is commonly used in formal, technical, or administrative contexts to indicate that certain data, values, or items may be supplied by someone else or by a system.

Morphology and construction: The form combines the prefix meg- with the root ad- (from megadni, “to provide”), the potential suffix -ható, and the plural marker -k (resulting in -hatók for the third-person plural). The corresponding singular form is megadható, meaning “it can be provided / may be given.” Because it is a passive, impersonal construction, megadhatók often appears with an abstract or general subject, such as fields, values, or parameters.

Usage: Megadhatók is common in manuals, specifications, forms, and legal or technical documents. It signals that certain information or settings are not mandatory to be supplied by a specific person but may be provided as needed within a given context. It is less typical in everyday speech and more frequent in written technical language.
