megváltozhat

Megváltozhat is a Hungarian verb meaning may change or could change. It expresses the possibility that a state, condition, plan, or trend could become different. The finite form is built from the verb váltogzik? No, from változik (to change) with the prefix meg- and the modal suffix -hat/-het, yielding megváltozhat. The infinitive is me gváltozni, and the third-person singular present form is megváltozhat. The suffix -hat/-het marks possibility or ability, with its exact spelling determined by vowel harmony.

Morphology and usage notes: megváltozhat is the present tense form used to indicate a potential or uncertain change in the thing subject to the verb. It is commonly used in analyses, forecasts, policy discussions, weather reports, and everyday speech to soften a statement about future changes. The form changes with person and number in the usual Hungarian way, for example: megváltozhatok (I may change), megváltozhatsz (you may change), megváltozhatunk (we may change), megváltozhattok (you may change, plural), megváltozhatnak (they may change).

Examples: A helyzet megváltozhat. Az árak megváltozhatnak a következő hónapban. Valaki megváltozhat a véleményén. These sentences illustrate the expression of possible change in various contexts.
