Írhattok

írhattok is a Hungarian verb form belonging to the verb írni, meaning to write. It is the second-person plural form (you all) in the potential mood, expressing possibility or permission: you could write or you may write.

Morphology and formation: The form is built from the stem ír- (write) plus the potential suffix -hat/-het, which indicates possibility, followed by the second-person plural ending -tok. The result, írhattok, literally conveys “you could write.” The potential mood is used to talk about what is possible in a given context, rather than what is definitively happening.

Usage: írhattok is used when addressing a group and indicating that writing is a possible option. It can convey permission or hypothetical ability depending on context. For example:

- Írhattok nekem egy üzenetet, ha kérdésetek van. (You could write me a message if you have questions.)

- Ha szeretnétek beszélni róla, írhattok a csoportban. (If you’d like to talk about it, you may write in the group.)

Negation and related forms: The negative form is nem írhattok, meaning “you may not write” or “you could not write,” depending on context. Other person formations exist with the same mood, such as írhatok (I may write) or írhatunk (we may write).

Relation to other moods: The potential mood contrasts with the indicative (present: írtok or írtatok, depending on person) and expresses possibility rather than certainty. It is commonly found in written language, formal guidance, or scenarios describing options.
