tartalmazhathet

Tartalmazhat is a Hungarian grammar form that expresses possibility or potential regarding containment. It combines the verb tartalmaz (to contain) with the suffix -hat/-het, which marks modality similar to may or could in English. The result is typically used as a finite verb form, most commonly in the third-person singular, to indicate that something may contain a given item or element.

Morphology and usage notes:

The suffix -hat/-het is chosen according to vowel harmony rules in Hungarian, with -hat used after back vowels and -het after front vowels. In tartalmazhat, the stem ends with a consonant followed by the vowel sequence that triggers -hat. The form can be used broadly to describe possible contents of objects, lists, documents, packages, or statements, rather than asserting certainty. It is often found in product descriptions, specifications, or conditional statements.

Examples:

- A doboz tartalmazhat egy útmutatót. (The box may contain a manual.)

- Ez a szerződés tartalmazhat kitételeket. (This contract may contain stipulations.)

- A jelentés nem tartalmazhat személyes adatokat. (The report may not contain personal data.)

Negation and related forms:

To negate the possibility, use nem tartalmazhat. Tárgyalások, feltételek vagy kontextus szerint a tartalmazhat formát más modal vagy feltételes szerkezetekkel is kombinálhatják.

Relation to other forms:

Tartalmazhat is derived from tartalmaz and serves as the modal-like counterpart to the simple statement tartalmaz. The infinitive form of the base verb is tartalmazni, while tartalmazhat acts as a finite form expressing potential content.
