Usage notes

  • (accusative suffix): It can be added to nouns, adjectives, numerals and pronouns. Whether a suffix-initial vowel (linking vowel) will be used is hard to predict and thus needs to be learned with each word. A rule of thumb, however, is that older and shorter words tend to incorporate a vowel, rather than simply use -t. Variants:
    -t is added to words ending in a vowel. Final -a changes to -á-. Final -e changes to -é-. Final -o in foreign words changes to -ó-.
    -ot is added to some back vowel words ending in a consonant
    -at is added to some back vowel words ending in a consonant
    -et is added to unrounded front vowel words ending in a consonant
    -öt is added to rounded front vowel words ending in a consonant
  • (causative suffix) Variants:
    -at is added to back vowel words ending in a consonant + t and most monosyllabic words
    vár (to wait)várat (to have someone wait)
    -et is added to front vowel words ending in a consonant + t and most monosyllabic words
    kér (to ask for)kéret (to have someone ask for)
    -tat is added to back vowel words ending in a vowel + t
    tisztít (to clean)tisztíttat (to have someone clean)
    -tet is added to front vowel words ending in a vowel + t
    keres (to look for)kerestet (to have someone look for)
