tárgyjelölírható

tárgyjelölírható is a Hungarian grammatical term that translates to "transitivizable" or "capable of being made transitive." It refers to a verb that, in its base form, is intransitive (does not take a direct object) but can be modified or inflected to become transitive, thus allowing it to take a direct object. This transformation is often achieved through specific verb suffixes or by using the verb in a causative construction.

For example, the Hungarian verb "fut" means "to run." In its base form, it is intransitive: "A kutya fut" (The dog runs). However, by adding the causative suffix "-tat/-tet," it becomes "futtat," meaning "to make someone run" or "to run something" (e.g., "Az edző futtatja a sportolókat" - The coach makes the athletes run). In this case, "futtat" is a transitivized form of "fut," and "fut" is considered tárgyjelölírható.

This concept is important for understanding verb conjugation and sentence structure in Hungarian. It highlights the flexibility of verbs and how their grammatical function can be altered to express a wider range of meanings and relationships within a sentence. Not all intransitive verbs are tárgyjelölírható; the ability to be transitivized depends on the specific verb and the availability of appropriate derivational affixes.
