(tennis)Advantage; also, designating the left-hand side, from the player's point of view, of their half of the court, where the advantage point following a deuce is always played.
2006,David Foster Wallace, “Federer Both Flesh And Not”, inBoth Flesh And Not, Penguin, published2013, page 5:
[S]uddenly Agassi hits a hard heavy cross-court back hand that pulls Federer way out to hisad (= his left) side, and Federer gets to it but slices the stretch backhand short, a couple feet past the service line[…].
Könnyű a férjnek azt mondani, én holnap vagy egy hónap múlva nagy ünnepélytadok, hivatalos lesz rá az egész környék, akiket ismerek és olyanok is, akiket sohasem láttam. A többi az asszony gondja.
It is easy enough for us men-folk to say, “I willgive a great dinner-party to-morrow, or a month hence; and I will invite the whole country-side to it. I will invite not only those I know, but those I have never seen;” but it is our women-folk who have to take thought for it.
Future is expressed with a present-tense verb with a completion-marking prefix and/or a time adverb, or—more explicitly—with the infinitive plus the conjugated auxiliary verbfog, e.g.adni fog.
The archaic passive conjugation had the same-(t)at/-(t)et suffix as the causative, followed by-ik in the 3rd-person singular (and the concomitant changes in conditional and subjunctive mostly in the 1st- and 3rd-person singular like with other traditional-ik verbs).
