nevezhetik

Nevezhetik is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb nevezni, meaning to name or to designate. It expresses possibility or potential and is formed with the modal suffix -het, which signals that naming or designation may occur, combined with an ending that marks the finite form. In translation, the form is commonly understood as “they may be named” or “they can be named,” depending on context and voice.

Morphology and interpretation can vary slightly in grammars, but the core idea is that nevezhetik conveys potential or permissive meaning within a finite verb form. It is not the infinitive nevezni, but a derived finite form used in contexts where naming or designation is discussed as a possibility or option. The exact person and number are determined by surrounding sentence structure, as with other finite Hungarian verbs.

Usage and contexts: nevezhetik appears in formal, descriptive, or theoretical texts, such as grammar explanations, dictionaries, or guidelines describing naming conventions or designation processes. It may occur in sentences where an unspecified agent is described as able to name or designate someone or something, or where a rule allows such designation.

Example: A kiírás szerint a résztvevők nevezhetik meg a jelölteket. This illustrates the sense of possible naming or designation by participants.
