észrevehetnek

észrevehetnek is a Hungarian verb form meaning "they may notice" or "they could notice." It is the third-person plural potential mood form derived from the verb észrevenni (to notice or to become aware of). The form expresses a possibility or capacity for a group of subjects to notice something in a given situation. The suffix -het is the indefinite potential marker, and -nek is the 3rd-person plural ending, resulting in the combined ending -hetnek.

Usage and nuance: észrevehetnek is used to describe what a group might notice under certain conditions, rather than asserting that they will notice something outright. It appears in analytic, descriptive, or hypothetical contexts, and can be found in academic writing, reports, or careful observations. The mood conveys possibility rather than certainty, and its tone can be somewhat formal.

Examples:

- A tanúk észrevehetnek részleteket a történetben. (The witnesses may notice details in the story.)

- A mérés adatai alapján a szakértők észrevehetnek kisebb hibákat a készülékben. (According to the measurement data, the experts may notice smaller faults in the device.)

- A vizsgálat során előfordulhat, hogy észrevehetnek anomáliákat. (During the examination, they may notice anomalies.)
