Áthaladhatsz

Áthaladhatsz is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you may pass through” or “you can go across.” It is used to grant permission or indicate possibility to move through a boundary, gate, route, or other barrier. The form is built from the prefix át-, meaning across, together with halad, to move forward, and it carries the modal nuance with the suffix -hat- plus the second-person singular ending -sz, yielding a phrase that expresses permission in the present tense.

Usage and context: Áthaladhatsz appears in formal notices, instructions, and polite speech where it is important to state allowed actions. It is commonly encountered on signs at gates, checkpoints, or in rules that specify which paths are open to pedestrians or vehicles. In everyday conversation, speakers more often use alternatives such as átmész, átmehetsz, or mehetsz át to convey permission or possibility in a more natural, colloquial way.

Examples:

- Áthaladhatsz a kapun, ha bemutatod az igazolványodat. (You may pass through the gate if you show your ID.)

- A tábla szerint áthaladhatsz a kijelölt ösvényen.

Etymology and morphology: The word combines át- (across) with halad (to move forward) and includes the modal suffix -hat- with the second-person singular ending -sz, which together give the sense of “you may.” The construction is characteristic of Hungarian verb formation for expressing permission or possibility.
