Hungarian grammar is the grammar of the Hungarian language, which is a Uralic language mainly spoken in
Hungary and in parts of its seven neighboring countries.

Hungarian grammar

Hungarian is an agglutinative language. It uses various affixes, mainly suffixes, to change a word's meaning and
grammatical function. The suffixes are attached according to vowel harmony. The verbs are conjugated according to
definiteness, tense, mood, person and number. The nouns can be declined with 18 case suffixes, most of which
correspond to English prepositions. Hungarian is a topic-prominent language, which means that word order depends
on the topic-comment structure of the sentence (e.g. what aspect is assumed to be known and what is emphasized).

Syntax
Neutral Hungarian sentences have a subjectverbobject word order, like English. Hungarian is a null subject
language, meaning the subject does not have to be explicitly stated. Word order is determined not by syntactic roles,
but rather by pragmatic factors. Emphasis is placed on the word or phrase immediately preceding the finite verb.
A sentence usually consists of four parts: topic, focus, verb and the rest. Any of the four parts may be empty. The
topic and the rest may contain any number of phrases but the focus may contain at most one phrase.

Emphasis
The tables below contain some Hungarian variations of the English sentence "John took Peter two books yesterday."
Besides the verb, the sentence contains four other elements: "John", "Peter", "two books", "yesterday".

knyvet

Elvitt Jnos tegnap kt


knyvet Pternek.

Two books were taken by John to Peter yesterday. (The action was completed; the
books are at Peter's place now.)

tegnap

elvitt Jnos Pternek.

Two books were indeed taken by John to Peter. (Perhaps something else was taken to
him, too. However, the two books may not be the most important thing, e.g. John may
have left Peter's documents at home.)

vitt
el

John (only) took Peter two books, nothing else.

Kt
knyvet

Jnos tegnap
Pternek.

The topic contains a phrase or phrases which the speaker supposes as known and which is used for introducing a
topic that the statement will be about (cf. "as far as X is concerned, ..."). The focus attracts the attention to an
element of the event which is either supposed as unknown or it may be a refutation to a possible opposing belief. It
excludes the validity of the statement for all other individuals in question ("it was X and nothing else that...").
If a focus is present, the verbal prefix will be put after the verb (vitt el instead of elvitt). If there is no verbal prefix,
there may be ambiguity in writing because the phrase preceding the verb may be either a topic or a focus. For
example, in the sentence va szereti a virgokat ("Eve likes flowers"), va may be a topic and the sentence may be
neutral, or va may be a focus and the sentence may emphasise that it's Eve who likes flowers. Example sentences
and their interpretations follow:

Hungarian grammar

Sentence

Interpretation

va szereti a virgokat.

Eve likes flowers.

Szereti va a virgokat.

Eve does like flowers (even if someone doubts it).

va szereti a virgokat.

Eve likes flowers (and not someone else).

va a virgokat szereti.

Eve likes flowers (and not something else).

A virgokat va szereti.

It's Eve that likes flowers (and not someone else, although something else may be liked by someone else).

A virgokat szereti va.

It's flowers that Eve likes (and not something else).

Morphology
Hungarian is an agglutinative language. Most grammatical information is given through suffixes. For example: "at
the table" = az asztalnl (space relation), "at 5 o'clock" = t rakor (time relation). There is also one grammatical
prefix (leg- for superlatives).

Overview of personal endings: typical sound elements


In Hungarian, the endings are mostly common for the endings of pronouns with suffixes and postpositions,
possessive endings of nouns, and the verb endings. (The accusative of pronouns is also given for comparison, though
it is less regular.)

Harmonic vowels in suffixes


Front-back vowel harmony is important in Hungarian morphophonology. Certain suffixes also distinguish between
front unrounded vowels and front rounded vowels. See Hungarian phonology or vowel harmony for a more detailed
explanation.
Note: The stem-final a and e, as well as o and in foreign words, are lengthened before suffixes, e.g. alma almt,
mese mest, piano piant, Malm Malmt. (Short o and cannot occur at the end of Hungarian words.)
Short i, u, retain their length, e.g. ami amit, kapu kaput, men ment.
The vowels which form parallel pairs or triads in harmonic suffixes are:

Hungarian grammar

Back Front
variant
o e/
a e

u

As it is shown, the members of these pairs/triads mostly agree in height and length but differ in backness. (An
exception is the pair / where (open front unrounded vowel) is categorised as back.)
In the case of o vs. e and and the case of a vs. e there appears a difference in roundedness, too.
Notes:
e is used in 2 of the groups. There are no suffixes which have a/e/. o/e (without ) is very rare, only used for
certain 2nd person plural suffixes.
Where i is used in a suffix, it is usually an invariant suffix. It also occurs once as a front verb suffix (paired with
-ja) and in the irregular forms neki and nekik (see Cases with personal suffixes).

Suffix typology
The suffixes can be categorised into the following phonological types:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

Initial consonant and no change depending on the stem ending, e.g. -ban/-ben, -hoz/-hez/-hz
Initial v with complete preservative consonant assimilation, only for -val/-vel and -v/-v
Initial vowel and no change depending on the stem ending, e.g. -ul/-l, -s/-s
Link vowel o/e/ on stems ending with a consonant, with link vowel a for certain back-vowel noun stems, e.g.
-om/(-am)/-em/-m/-m
Link vowel a/e on stems ending with a consonant, e.g. -ak/-ek/-k
Link vowel u/ on stems ending with a consonant, e.g. -unk/-nk/-nk
Link consonant -j on stems ending with a vowel, and on certain stems ending with a consonant, only for
-a/-e/-ja/-je and -uk/-k/-juk/-jk
Invariant, e.g. -kor, -ig

Minor variations:
-on/-en/-n/-n does not use the a link vowel for any nouns
The accusative suffix, -ot/(-at)/-et/-t/-t, does not use a link vowel for stems ending with certain consonants
Note: The long vowels /, / and / are not used as link vowels.

Hungarian grammar

Citation form of suffixes


Where the list of suffixes has only one, it is invariant and is used on all stems, e.g. -ig.
Where the list of suffixes has 2, the first is the form for back vowel stems and the second is the form for front
vowel stems, e.g. -ban/-ben: -ban is used for laks and -ben is used for szem and frd.
Where the list of suffixes has 3 forms with the vowels o/e/, the o form is used for back vowel stems, the e form
is used for front unrounded stems and the form is used for front rounded stems. For example, -hoz/-hez/-hz:
-hoz is used for laks, -hez is used for szem and -hz is used for frd.
Where the list of suffixes has ones which start with a vowel followed by one or more which start with a
consonant, the forms which start with a vowel are used on consonant-final stems and the forms which start with a
consonant are used on vowel-final stems. (The initial vowel of the suffix is called a link vowel and the rules for
selection within the vowel or consonant group apply as above.) For example, -unk/-nk/-nk: -unk is used on laks,
-nk on szem and kr and -nk is used on frd.
Where the list of suffixes has 4 forms for consonant-final stems, with the link vowels o/(a)/e/, the a form is used
with certain back noun stems. For example, -om/(-am)/-em/-m/-m: -om is used for laks, -am is used for hz, -em
is used for szem, -m is used for kr and -m is used for frd.

Personal suffixes and link vowels


Personal suffixes can have various uses in Hungarian grammar. There are two sets of them:
Type I uses the a/e set of vowels as link vowels
whereas Type II uses the o/e/ set.
Therefore, their differences are:
Type I has -a- as link vowel where Type II only uses -o in back-vowel words
Type I doesn't use -- as link vowel with front-vowel words while Type II does.

ablakom, szemem, gymlcsm (possessive suffixes


attached to nouns)

alattam, felettem, mgttem (postpositions attached to


personal pronouns)

vrok, krek, ksznk (verb suffixes in the present


tense)

vrtam, krtem, kszntem (verb suffixes in the past tense)

vrnom, krnem, ksznnm (suffixes attached to the


infinitive)

vrjak, krjek, ksznjek (verb suffixes in the subjunctive)

hzam, mzem, fldem (possessive suffixes on certain nouns


that require low linking vowel)

pirosam, szpem, zldem (possessive suffixes on almost all


adjectives)

In the example rows below the chart proper, the forms for the 1st person singular are given for the three basic
types (back vowel, unrounded front vowel, rounded front vowel).
Within cells, the first row is for stems ending in a consonant and the second for stems ending in a vowel.
There is some variance with verbs (mostly in the 3rd person) but their forms still resemble this pattern.
The hzam, mzem, fldem group has another special feature as well: they always use a link vowel in the
accusative, independently of their endings (e.g. hzat but gzt, mzet but gzt).
This difference often disambiguates meanings, e.g. jttek means "they came" (past) and jttk means "you [pl.]
come" (present).
An extreme example is the longest Hungarian word 'megszentsgtelenthetetlensgeskedseitekrt' (means 'due to
your repeatedly not being possible to be desecrated'. This word contains mass of inflexions, prefix, suffix, etc. The
core of the word is 'szent', meaning "sacred.")
Note: the accusative suffix following the stem or following other suffixes shows the same difference, except for the
six different forms for the six persons:
Type I (a/e)

ablakokat, szemeket, gymlcsket

(accusative suffixes following other suffixes)

Type II (o/e/)
ablakot, szemet, gymlcst
(accusative suffixes attached to the stem)

Hungarian grammar

Noun phrase
See Hungarian noun phrase.

Postpositions
As well as the noun suffixes, which are often equivalent to English prepositions, Hungarian also has postpositions.

Amalgamation with personal pronouns


If postpositions are used with personal pronouns (cf. "to me"), most of them amalgamate with the suffixes expressing
the person. Compare:
Postposition

alatt
under

"Regular"
"Amalgamated" use
postpositional use with personal suffixes
az asztal alatt
under the table

alattam
under me

For the full list of such postpositions, see postpositions with personal suffixes.

Stand-alone postpositions
The following postpositions differ from the above in that they are never suffixed with personal endings:
Spatial postpositions

t "over/across"

Time postpositions

Other postpositions

ta "since"

gyannt "as, by way of"

keresztl "through/via"

hosszat "for xxx time"

vgett "in order to, with a view to"

tl "beyond"

mlva "in xxx time"

esetn "in case of"

kezdve "from xxx on"

folytn "due to"

kzben, sorn, folyamn "during"

kpest "as compared to"

krl, tjt, tjban, tjn "around"

nzve "regarding, considering"

Derived postpositions
Certain standard postpositions are derived from a noun + 3rd person singular possessive suffix + case ending, e.g.
apm rvn "by the help of my father". See their list here.
This internal structure affects how they are used with pronominal forms (see above).

Case requirements
Most postpositions govern the nominative case; the exceptions are listed below. (The genitive case below means that
morphologically speaking, they can either take the nominative or the dative suffix, see Other noun endings.)

Hungarian grammar

genitive

valami /
ellenre (despite), folyamn (during), jvoltbl (thanks to), kedvrt (for the sake of), kvetkeztben (due to),
valaminek mentn (along), rszre (for), rvn (by/through/via), szmra (for/to), tjn (via)

superessive

valamin

alul (under/below), t (through/over), bell (inside), fell/fll (over/above), innen (this way from X),
keresztl (across), kezdve (from X on), kvl (outside/except), tl (beyond)

sublative

valamire

nzve (with respect to)

allative

valamihez hasonlan (similarly to), kpest (as compared to)

adessive

valaminl

fogva1 (owing to)

ablative

valamitl

fogva2 (from X on), kezdve (from X on)

instrumental-comitative valamivel

egytt (along with), szemben (opposite)

Postpositions functioning as prepositions


Some postpositions may also precede the noun, thus functioning as prepositions: t (over/across), keresztl
(through), egytt (together with), szemben (opposite), tl (beyond), e.g. t a folyn or a folyn t ("across the river").

Adjectives and adverbs


Adjective marking
Adjectives are unmarked for case. Attributive adjectives are not marked for number but predicative ones are. For
example: piros almk ("red apples") but: Az almk pirosak. ("The apples [are] red.").

Adverb derivation
The suffix -an/-en/-n is used to form adverbs of manner from adjectives. -l, -lag/-leg and -ul/-l are also used to
derive adverbs from some adjectives.
There is also a suffix, -va/-ve, which is used to derive adverbs from verbs. Its nearest English equivalent is the -ing
form functioning as a participle (rather than a noun). Example:
szva jtt ide. ("He came here swimming.")
Such participles (note the adverbial usage) are referred to by term adverbial participle (distinguished from
adjectival participle).

Use of adverbs
In Hungarian adverbs can be used predicatively with van. Examples: Korn van. ("It's early.") Nyitva van. ("It's
open.")

Degree adverbs
Some degree adverbs are formed from adjectives. The suffixes which are used are ones which are usually used on
nouns:
-on/-en/-n/-n, e.g. nagyon ("very")
-v/-v, e.g. kiss ("somewhat, to some extent"), elgg ("quite, fairly")

Hungarian grammar

Comparative and superlative


Comparative adjectives and adverbs are formed by adding -abb/-ebb/-bb to the adjective stem, e.g. gyors ("quick"),
gyorsabb ("quicker"), gyorsan ("quickly"), gyorsabban ("more quickly").
To state the thing which is being compared with (like English "than"), Hungarian uses the noun suffix -nl/-nl or
the preposition mint. (Note, mint is the only preposition in Hungarian.) For example gyorsabb a szlnl or gyorsabb,
mint a szl ("faster than the wind").
Superlative adjectives and adverbs are formed by adding the prefix leg- to the comparative, e.g. a leggyorsabb ("the
quickest"), a leggyorsabban ("the most quickly").
Example: magas ("tall/high")

Notes:
1. Back-vowel adjectives use a as link vowel (as in magasabb), while front-vowel ones use e (e.g. hidegebb
"colder"). The only exception is nagy ("big"), which uses o as link vowel instead of a: nagyobb, legnagyobb,
legeslegnagyobb.
2. The exaggerated measure is used for stressing the superlative adjective.

Verb
See Hungarian verbs

Expressing time
Many expressions of time use the case endings and postpositions which are also used for position, e.g.:

-tl/-tl - when from


-ig - until when
-ra/-re - by (before) a certain time
kztt (postposition) - between; among
eltt (postposition) - before
utn (postposition) - after
-n bell (postposition with suffix) - within

There are also some which are used only for time, e.g.:
-kor - at what time, e.g. kilenckor ("at nine"), karcsonykor ("at Christmas")
-onta/-ente/-nte - every ..., e.g. naponta ("daily")
mlva (postposition) - in ... time, e.g. 2 ht mlva ("in 2 weeks' time")
There are 2 ways of expressing how long ago something happened:
3rd singular possessive suffix with past tense, e.g. 10 ve kltztt el. ("He moved away 10 years ago.")
-val/-vel + ezeltt with past tense, e.g. 10 vvel ezeltt kltztt el. ("He moved away 10 years ago.")

Hungarian grammar

Telling the time


"Hny ra (van)? Mennyi (most) az id?" ( " What time is it? What is the time? ")
8.20 - Nyolc ra mlt hsz perccel. "It is twenty (minutes) past eight."
8.50 - Tz perc mlva kilenc ra. "It is ten to nine."
Times can be given by just the numbers, but this is not usual in speech, e.g.:
nyolc ra hsz (literally "eight hour twenty") or nyolc hsz (literally "eight twenty").
In speech the half and quarter hours are expressed by what fraction of the time to the next hour has elapsed.
These can be written using fractions, e.g.:

8.00 or 8 - nyolc (literally "eight") or nyolc ra ( literally "eight hours")


8.15 or 9 - negyed kilenc (literally "quarter nine")
8.30 or 9 - fl kilenc (literally "half nine")
8.45 or 9 - hromnegyed kilenc (literally "three-quarters nine")

These are abbreviated in movie programmes as n9, f9 and h9 (with the initial letters of the fraction names).
The times in between these are expressed in relation to the next or previous quarter hour, e.g.:
8.20 - negyed kilenc mlt t perccel (literally "past 8.15 by 5 minutes")...
...or fl kilenc lesz tz perc mlva (literally "it will be 8.30 in 10 minutes' time")
8.25 - fl kilenc lesz t perc mlva (literally "it will be 8.30 in 5 minutes' time")
These are different when they refer to a time in the past or future:
8.20-kor - negyed kilenc utn t perccel (literally "after 8.15 by 5 minutes")
8.25-kor - fl kilenc eltt t perccel (literally "before 8.30 by 5 minutes")

Duration structures
For a period of time extending up to the present:
3rd singular possessive ending with present tense, e.g. 3 ve lakom itt. ("I've lived here for 3 years.")
3rd singular possessive ending with negative past tense, e.g. 10 ve nem lttam. ("I haven't seen him for 10
years.")
For a period of time in the past, present or future:
accusative with dynamic verbs, e.g. 2 rt segtnk. ("We're helping for 2 hours."), 2 rt fogunk segteni ("We're
going to help for 2 hours."), 2 rt segtettnk. ("We helped for 2 hours.")
-ig with stative verbs, e.g. 5 vig laktam Londonban. ("I lived in London for 5 years."), Egy percig sem maradok
itt! ("I won't stay here even for a minute!")
These two structures are often interchangeable.
The -ra/-re structure also exists, but it's rarely used in this sense since it may be ambiguous with the "by (before)"
meaning. For example Hrom napra ment el. ("He left for three days.") Then again: Hrom napot/napig volt
tvol. ("He was away for three days.") the above suffixes appear.

Hungarian grammar

Negation
Verbs are negated with nem, except in the subjunctive when ne is used.
Double or multiple negative is mandatory with negative pronouns (like nobody, nothing, never, nowhere), see the
article "Double negative" about Hungarian.

Questions
Question words
ki? is the basic question word for a person (cf. "who?") and mi? is the basic question word for a thing (cf. "what?").
Where meaningful, these can take the full range of case and noun suffixes, e.g. kit?, miben?, mikpp? mi + rt ("for
the purpose of") gives the question word mirt? ("why?").
milyen? is used to ask for a description. It can be used to ask about a whole noun phrase, e.g. Milyen a tanrod?
("What's your teacher like?") or as a determiner, e.g. Milyen lakst akarsz? ("What kind of flat do you want?").
Although there is no case suffix -lyan/-lyen, this ending also occurs in ilyen ("this kind of"), olyan ("that kind of"),
valamilyen ("some kind of") and semmilyen ("no kind of").
The strict three-way distinction in direction which occurs in the positional suffixes also occurs in the question words:
hol? ("where?"), hova? /hov? ("where to?") and honnan? ("where from?").
hny? is used to ask questions about numbers (cf. "how many?") and mennyi? about quantities (cf. "how much?").
Where meaningful, these can take the full range of case and noun suffixes, e.g. hnnyal?, hnykor?, mennyibe?,
mennyirt? hny? can also take the full range of suffixes used for numbers and quantity expressions, e.g. hnyadik?,
hnyas?

Yes/no questions
Yes/no questions are expressed by intonation not by any modification to syntax or morphology.
A short positive answer to a yes/no question is often given by repeating the verb particle (or the full verb, if it has no
particle) rather than by using the words Igen ("Yes"). Examples:
Elment? El. ("Has he left? He has.", literally "[He] away-went? Away.")
Ltta a filmet? Ltta. ("Did he see the film? He did.", literally "[He] saw the film? [He] saw.").
The negative answer to a yes/no question may include the word Nem ("No") or the negation of the requested part of
the sentence or both.
Elment?
Nem. (this option may sound rude) / Nem ment el. / Nem, nem ment el. ("No, he hasn't left.")

Tag questions
Tag questions are made by adding ugye to the beginning or end of a statement. E.g. Elment, ugye? or Ugye elment?
("He has left, hasn't he?"). The latter form more strongly suggests the positive answer.

Subordinate and relative clauses


Subordinate clauses are often used with an antecedent in the main clause, e.g. Kabtot hozott, mert fzott. /Azrt
hozott kabtot, mert fzott. ("She fetched a coat because she was cold.")
Relative clauses usually have an explicit antecedent in the main clause, e.g. Attl flek, nem mehetek el. ("I'm afraid
[of the fact that] I can't go.") However, Attl tartok, (hogy) nem mehetek el. is also correct.
