mérhetek

Mérhetek is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I can measure.” It is derived from the verb mérni, which means to measure, and is used to express the speaker’s ability or possibility to perform a measurement.

Morphology and grammar: Mérhetek is formed from the stem mér- with the suffix -het indicating possibility or ability, combined with the first-person singular ending -ek. In this sense, mérhetek represents the present tense form used to convey that the speaker could or may carry out a measurement. Related forms include mérhet (you can measure) and mérhetnék (I could measure, a hypothetical or conditional form), among others, depending on mood and tense.

Usage: The form is used in contexts where measurement is relevant, such as scientific, technical, engineering, or everyday language, to indicate capability rather than a completed action. As a verb form, it typically appears within a full clause with an explicit subject and object or complement describing what is being measured.

Related terms: Mérés (measurement), mérőeszköz (measuring instrument), mérték (unit or measure). The root mér- is linked to the broader family of Hungarian measurement vocabulary, including nouns and adjectives that describe quantity, size, and tolerances.

Notes: Mérhetek is a standard, correct conjugation in Hungarian and should be understood as the first-person present form expressing ability to measure. It is not a proper noun or a standalone concept beyond its grammatical meaning, but it can appear in dictionaries as a form of mérni.
