áttekinthet

áttekinthet is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb áttekinteni, which means to survey, review, or go over something. The form combines the stem áttekint- with the suffix -het, which marks potentiality or ability. In effect, áttekinthet conveys the idea of “can survey” or “is able to review.” It is a finite verb form used to express possibility or capability rather than a simple, standalone dictionary entry.

Morphology and usage: The -het/-hat suffix in Hungarian attaches to the verb stem to indicate potential mood. Therefore áttekinthet appears as the base potential form and can combine with person endings to yield forms like áttekintheted (you can review) or áttekinthetünk (we can review), among others. The word is typically not used in isolation; in practice it appears as part of longer verb constructions or as a component of sentences describing who is able to perform the action. In standard Hungarian, this form is primarily a way to discuss capability rather than to describe a completed action.

Semantics and nuance: As a potential mood form, áttekinthet emphasizes possibility or capacity rather than certainty. It is common in formal or technical contexts when evaluating whether an actor, process, or document can be reviewed within given constraints. It should not be conflated with áttekinthető, which is a participial form meaning “readable” or “easy to understand,” nor with the plain infinitive áttekinteni.
