szerezhetünk

Szerezhetünk is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb szerezni, meaning to obtain or acquire. It expresses possibility or ability in the present tense for the first-person plural, roughly translating to we can obtain or we may obtain.

Morphology and formation: szerezhetünk is built from the stem szerez-, followed by the potential mood suffix -het, and the first-person plural ending -ünk. This construction indicates a hypothetical or potential action belonging to the group subject “we.” The form is used with any object that can be obtained, and it does not require a specific tense marker beyond the potential mood.

Usage and examples: the form is used to discuss attainable outcomes under certain conditions. For example, “A kutatásból szerezhetünk információt” means “From the research, we can obtain information.” “Ha együtt dolgozunk, szerezhetünk előnyöket” means “If we work together, we may obtain advantages.” The expression often appears in formal or instructional contexts, where possibilities or plans are being considered.

Nuance and related forms: szerezhetünk differs from forms like szerezhetne (he/she could obtain) and megszerezhetünk (we could obtain in a different nuance, often with emphasis on successfully acquiring something). The base verb szerezni (to obtain) forms a broader family including megszerzés (acquisition) and the noun szerzés, used to discuss the act or process of obtaining.
