• (accusative case 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 most back-vowel words ending in a consonant

  -at is added tosome back-vowel words ending in a consonant

  -et is added to unrounded (andsome rounded) front-vowel words ending in a consonant

  -öt is added to most rounded front-vowel words ending in a consonant

  -∅ (zero form), optionally, afterpossessive suffixes, especially in the singular but sometimes also in the plural (and not infrequently after multiple-possession forms as well),except for the third-person singular (“his/her/its”,-ja/-je) as its omission would not reduce the number of syllables.

  Elviszem a kabátom(at/∅),kabátod(at/∅);kabátunk(at/∅),kabátotok(at/∅),kabátjuk(at/∅);kabátjaim(at/∅) etc.

  I’ll take my coat, your coat; our coat, [plural] your coat, their coat; my coats etc.

  It is also omitted usually from the accusative forms of first- and second-person singular personal pronouns (engem,téged(“me, you”)).

From-etik(passive-forming suffix), removing the ending.

-et

2. combining form of-etik(passive-forming suffix)before all inflectional and derivational suffixes, except the dictionary form itself, the indefinite third-person singular present indicative

   küldetik(“to be sent”) →küldetés(“mission”).

(combining forms of the passive-forming suffix) Variants:-at-,-et-,-tat-,-tet- (from-atik, -etik, -tatik, -tetik), as well as the tautological (doubly suffixed) forms-attat-, -ettet- (from-attatik, -ettetik). See morein the template of the full forms of this suffix.
