Signification
Inquiring about feasibility.
Contexte culturel
Hungarians value directness but use 'Ez lehetséges?' to soften requests in formal settings like banks or government offices. In some dialects, you might hear 'Lehet-e?' more frequently than the full 'Ez lehetséges?'. In fast-paced city life, 'Ez megoldható?' is often preferred in business contexts to emphasize 'getting things done'. Hosts will often ask 'Ez lehetséges?' when offering food, meaning 'Is it possible for you to eat this?' (checking for allergies/preferences).
The 'Hogy' Connection
Always follow 'Lehetséges' with 'hogy' if you are adding a full sentence after it.
No 'Van'
Remember: 'Ez lehetséges' is a complete sentence. Adding 'van' makes you sound like a translation app.
