meghosszabbíthatják

meghosszabbíthatják is a Hungarian verb form. It is the third-person plural conditional present tense of the verb meghosszabbít. The infinitive form, meghosszabbít, means "to lengthen," "to extend," or "to prolong." Therefore, meghosszabbíthatják literally translates to "they could lengthen," "they could extend," or "they could prolong."

This verb form is used to express a potential or hypothetical action of lengthening or extending performed by multiple subjects. It implies that the subjects have the capability or possibility to make something longer or last longer, but it is not a definite or certain action. The conditional mood in Hungarian often conveys a sense of possibility, politeness, or a hypothetical situation.

For example, in a sentence like "A szerződést meghosszabbíthatják," it would mean "They could extend the contract." Here, the verb indicates that the extension is a possibility for the subjects involved in the contract. Another example could be "Az utat meghosszabbíthatják," meaning "They could lengthen the road." This suggests that lengthening the road is within their power or is a potential plan. The context of the sentence would determine the precise meaning of "lengthen," "extend," or "prolong."
