válhatunk

válhatunk is a conjugated form of the Hungarian verb válni, meaning “to become.” It represents the first-person plural and expresses possibility or potential: “we can become” or “we may become.” The form is created from the stem vál- with the potential suffix -hat/-het and the personal ending -unk. In Hungarian, the -hat/-het suffix conveys possibility or ability, so válhatunk denotes a prospective change of state rather than a guaranteed outcome.

Usage and nuances: válhatunk is used when describing a hypothetical or attainable change for a group, often in planning, motivation, or speculative discourse. It signals that becoming something else depends on conditions being met, efforts made, or circumstances changing. The construction is common in formal or semi-formal writing and speeches, and it can appear in discussions about self-improvement, organizational change, or strategic goals.

Examples:

- Ha együtt dolgozunk, válhatunk kiváló szakemberekké. (If we work together, we can become excellent professionals.)

- Talán nyitottsággal válhatunk más nézőpontokat is megértőbbé. (Perhaps with openness we can become more understanding of other viewpoints.)

Etymology and relation: válhatunk derives from the verb válni (to become) with the Hungarian auxiliary-like suffix -hat/-het to express possibility, plus the 1st-person plural ending. It is one of several forms in Hungarian that convey potential mood or modality attached to a base verb.
