változtathatják

változtathatják is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they can change” or “they may change.” It is the third-person plural form in the present potential (modal) mood of the verb változtatni, which means “to change.” The form is built from the stem változtat- plus the modal suffix -hat/-het to express possibility, followed by the plural definite ending -ják, yielding változtathatják.

This form is used in contexts where a plural subject is described as having the ability or permission to effect a change. It commonly appears in legal, administrative, or policy language, as well as in general prose when discussing what multiple actors are able to do.

Examples:

- A szervezetek a terveket változtathatják meg, ha a körülmények ezt indokolják. (The organizations can/change their plans if circumstances justify it.)

- A szabályok szerint a résztvevők változtathatják a feltételeket. (According to the rules, the participants may change the terms.)

Differences from related forms:

- változtatják means “they change” (indicative present).

- változtathatják means “they may change” or “they can change” (the same modal sense without specifying the subject beyond plural). The presence of hat/-het and the -ják ending signals the modal, third-person plural form.

In summary, változtathatják is a standard Hungarian expression of possibility or permission for multiple agents to effect changes.
