Áthatolhassanak

Áthatolhassanak is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they can penetrate" or "they may pierce through" in English. It is the third-person plural conditional form of the verb "áthatol," meaning to penetrate, pierce, or pass through. The conditional mood in Hungarian, as in many languages, expresses a hypothetical or potential action.

The word is formed by taking the verb stem "áthatol" and adding the conditional suffix "-hat/het" followed by the personal suffix "-nak/nek" for the third-person plural. The specific vowel harmony dictates whether "-hat-" or "-het-" and "-nak-" or "-nek-" are used. In this case, "áthatol" ends with an "o," a back vowel, leading to the use of "hat" and "nak."

The meaning implies an ability or possibility for multiple subjects to achieve penetration or to pass through an obstacle. This could be physical, such as a projectile penetrating a barrier, or metaphorical, such as ideas penetrating society or a group of people overcoming difficulties. The context in which "áthatolhassanak" is used will determine the precise interpretation. For example, "Ha elég erősek, az ágyúgolyók áthatolhassanak a falon" translates to "If they are strong enough, the cannonballs can penetrate the wall."
