rangsorolhatnak

Rangsorolhatnak is a Hungarian verb form derived from rangsorolni (to rank). It expresses the potential mood in the present tense for a third-person plural subject, and translates roughly as “they can rank” or “they may rank.” The form is used when describing that a group has the ability to order or prioritize items according to a set of criteria.

Morphology: The stem is rangsorol-, formed from rangsor (ranking) plus the infinitive suffix -ni. The suffix -hat marks potential mood, and -nak marks the third-person plural in the present tense. Thus rangsorolhatnak corresponds to “they can rank.”

Usage: It is used in contexts such as project planning, data analysis, or decision-making when discussing the capacity to order options. It conveys possibility or ability rather than obligation.

Examples:

- A vizsgálók csapata rangsorolhatja a különböző megoldási alternatívákat a prioritások alapján. (The testing team can rank the various solution options based on priorities.)

- A felmérésben részt vevő szakértők rangsorolhatnak több javaslatot a várható hatékonyság szerint. (The experts in the survey can rank several recommendations by expected effectiveness.)

Related forms: rangsorolható (able to be ranked), rangsorolás (ranking process), rangsor (rank), rangsoroló/rangsoroló (ranker or ranking device). These forms connect to the broader family around ordering and prioritization in Hungarian.
