megnövelheti

Megnövelheti is a Hungarian grammatical form of the verb megnövelni, meaning “to increase.” It expresses possibility or potential, roughly translating to “he/she/it may increase” or “could increase.” The form is used in the third person singular and indicates that something has the capacity or likelihood to cause an increase under certain conditions. The subject performing the increase is not specified by the form itself and is typically introduced by other words in the clause; the object being increased is usually in the accusative.

Usage and context emphasize possibility rather than certainty. It commonly appears in technical, economic, or analytical contexts where future changes are discussed as potential outcomes. For example, discussions of budgets, production capacity, or demand might use megnövelheti to indicate that a given factor could lead to higher figures, without asserting that the increase will happen.

Etymology and related forms: the verb is built from the base növelni (to increase) with the prefix meg- and the potential suffix -heti, forming a third-person singular potential form. Related forms include megnövel (noun-adjacent present stem), megnövelhet, and other conjugations of növelni used to express related moods such as likelihood or conditionality.
