ütemezhet

Ütemezhet is a Hungarian verb form derived from ütemez, meaning to schedule or timetable. It expresses possibility or potentiality, indicating that something may be scheduled. The form is created by attaching the suffix -het to the stem ütemez. The standard infinitive of the base verb is ütemezni; ütemezhet is one of the finite forms used to convey that scheduling is possible under certain conditions. A closely related form used more commonly to describe general capability is ütemezhető, meaning schedulable or able to be scheduled.

Usage and function: In planning, project management, and technical writing in Hungarian, ütemezhet appears in sentences that discuss options, constraints, or hypothetical scenarios for scheduling. It functions similarly to other -het/-het forms that express possibility, and is typically found in subordinate clauses or conditional contexts where the speaker wants to indicate that scheduling may be feasible rather than asserting it outright. In everyday language, speakers often prefer the adjective ütemezhető to convey the broader notion of schedulability.

Relation to other forms: The verb ütemez forms a small family with ütemezni (to schedule) and ütemezés (scheduling). The suffix -het signals potential mood, aligning with Hungarian patterns for expressing ability or possibility. Because Hungarian also uses ütemezhető for the adjectival sense, ütemezhet and ütemezhető cover related but slightly different pragmatic uses: the former emphasizes potential action, the latter a general capability.

Etymology: The root ütem is associated with tempo or rhythm and, by extension, planning and timing. The verb ütemez combines this root with the -ez suffix to create a transitive verb meaning to schedule. See also ütemezni, ütemezés, ütemezhető.
