tervezhetetek

Tervezhetetek is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb tervezni, which means to plan. It expresses possibility or permission for the second person plural, indicating that “you could plan” or “you may plan” something. The form is typically used in hypothetical, instructional, or formal contexts rather than in casual speech.

Morphology and form: tervezhetetek results from the stem tervez- combined with the modal suffix -het, which marks possibility, followed by the second person plural ending -etek. In other words, tervez-het-etek can be analyzed as a modal construction attached to the 2nd person plural present ending. This pattern is part of the broader Hungarian system of -hat/-het for potential mood and -ek/-etek for persons.

Usage and nuance: The form is used when a speaker wants to convey that a group is capable of planning something or is allowed to plan it, often in planning discussions, guidelines, or written instructions. It can appear in subordinate clauses or in directives where the option to plan is being offered or considered. The exact meaning—permission, possibility, or suggestion—can depend on context and accompanying words.

Related forms and notes: tervezhetetek is part of a family of modal forms built with -hat/-het across different persons and tenses (for example tervezhetünk, tervezhetitek, tervezhetnek). Knowledge of this form helps in understanding both hypothetical scenarios and formal planning language in Hungarian.
