megnehezülhet

Megnehezülhet is a Hungarian verb form that expresses the possibility that something will become more difficult or burdensome. It describes a future development in which a process, plan, or situation may encounter greater obstacles, often due to external factors such as resources, conditions, or rules. The form is used in formal or analytic writing to discuss potential changes in feasibility or effort required.

Morphology and usage notes

The word is formed from the verb nehezül (to become heavy or difficult) with the prefix meg- to indicate a change of state, and the suffix -het to denote possibility. Megnehezülhet is a finite, third-person singular form, used with an appropriate subject or in impersonal constructions. It conveys that the difficulty is not asserted as certain, but only as a possible outcome.

Context and examples

Megnehezülhet is commonly found in risk assessments, project planning, weather or economic forecasts, and policy discussions. Examples:

- A közbeszerzési folyamat megnehezülhet a szigorú követelmények miatt.

- Az utazás megnehezülhet a havazás és útlezárások következtében.

- A projekt megnehezülhet, ha a források késleltetve érkeznek.

Relation to related forms

Megnehezíteni means “to make something more difficult,” which is causative and active, whereas megnehezülhet describes a state that may become difficult on its own, without an explicit agent.

Etymology

Meg- is a prefix signaling a change of state; nehezül derives from nehez, meaning heavy or difficult. The suffix -het marks potential mood, yielding a probabilistic statement about future development.
