megvásárolhatnak

Megvásárolhatnak is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they can buy” or “they may purchase.” It is the third-person plural present potential mood form of megvásárolni, formed from the verb vásárolni (to buy) with the prefix meg- and the potential suffix -hat/-het, plus the personal ending -nak.

Morphology and spelling notes: The base is megvásárol-, to which the suffix -hat is added to indicate potential (possible) mood. Because Hungarian vowel harmony requires -hat rather than -het after back vowels, the full form becomes megvásárolhatnak in the third-person plural. The ending -nak marks the plural subject. The verb can also appear with other persons in corresponding potential forms (e.g., megvásárolhatok, megvásárolhatsz, megvásárolhat).

Usage: This form is used to express ability or possibility in the present tense for a plural subject. It appears in contexts such as business, economics, or everyday negotiation when stating that a group may purchase something. Examples include:

- A befektetők megvásárolhatnak részvényeket. (The investors may purchase shares.)

- A kereskedők megvásárolhatnak árukat nagy tételben. (The merchants can buy goods in large quantities.)

Related forms and notes: The infinitive megvásárolni corresponds to “to buy,” with meg- indicating a completed or definite action in many contexts. The base vásárolni forms the root for all conjugations, and megvásárolhatnak is one of several person-number variations in the present potential mood.
