vakolhatók

Vakolhatók is a Hungarian term that functions primarily as a verb form derived from the root *vakoló*, which means “to be stunned or bewildered.” The suffix *-hatók* indicates a passive reflexive construction, indicating that something can cause being stunned. The full form is typically used in modern Hungarian to describe the experience of being unexpectedly astonished or astonished by something. For example, “A csodálatos fényviszonyok vakolhatók.” translates to “The marvelous light conditions are astounding.”

Etymologically, *vakol* comes from *vak* meaning “blind,” reflecting the figurative sense of being unable to perceive clearly when astonished. The construction *vakolhatók* is present tense, passive and modal, functioning as a non‑finite verb that can be used as a predicate or complement. It is frequently found in literary texts, editorial commentary, and dialogue where the speaker wants to emphasize the amazement of the subject.

Pragmatically, the verb is versatile and can appear with various adverbs or prepositional phrases to modify the degree of astonishment, such as *nagyon vakolhatók* (“very stunned”) or *talán vakolhatók* (“might be stunned”). While it is not the most common form of expressing surprise in everyday conversation (where simpler expressions like *röpdő* or *csodálkozó* are used), vakolhatók remains a stylistically rich option in written Hungarian.

In any case, the usage of vakolhatók reflects a linguistic tradition that values expressive nuance in conveying emotional reactions, and it persists in both formal and creative contexts within contemporary Hungarian prose.
