mérlegelhetsz

Mérlegelhetsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you can weigh” or “you may consider.” It is the second-person singular present potential mood of the verb mérlegelni, which means to weigh, deliberate, or consider. The infinitive mérlegelni is built from mérleg- (scale, balance) plus -elni, giving the sense of weighing or weighing up options.

In usage, mérlegelhetsz expresses a possibility or permission to assess options, often in decision-making contexts. It signals that you have the opportunity to think things through, weighing pros and cons before acting. Examples: mérlegelhetsz több lehetőséget (you can weigh several options); mérlegelhetsz előnyöket és hátrányokat (you may weigh the advantages and disadvantages). The form is informal and singular; corresponding forms exist for other persons or tenses, such as mérlegelhet (he/she can weigh) and mérlegelhetünk (we can weigh).

Semantically, mérlegelhetsz emphasizes careful consideration rather than impulsive action, aligning with the broader meaning of mérlegelni. It is commonly used in contexts of planning, evaluation, negotiation, or any situation where weighing different aspects is appropriate. Related verbs include mérlegelni (to weigh or deliberate), fontolni (to contemplate), and mérlegelés (deliberation, weighing).
