megállítható

Megállítható is a Hungarian word that translates to "stoppable" or "can be stopped" in English. It is the conditional form of the verb "megállítani," which means "to stop." The suffix "-ható" indicates possibility or capability. Therefore, "megállítható" describes something that has the potential to be brought to a halt or ceases to function.

The word can be used in various contexts. For instance, a physical object in motion might be described as megállítható, implying that it is not inherently unstoppable. In a more abstract sense, a process, trend, or problem could also be labeled as megállítható, suggesting that intervention or action can prevent it from continuing or escalating. The opposite of megállítható would be something that is unstoppable, or "megállíthatatlan."

Understanding the nuances of "megállítható" requires considering the subject it modifies. A megállítható force is one that can be counteracted. A megállítható development is one that can be altered or halted. The term carries a sense of agency, implying that there are means or methods available to effect a change in the status quo of whatever is being described.
