Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Hungarian builds words like LEGO bricks: root + derivational suffixes + inflectional suffixes + personal markers.

  • Derivational suffixes always come closest to the root (e.g., 'ház' + 'as' = 'házas').
  • Inflectional suffixes (case/plural) follow derivational ones (e.g., 'házas' + 'ban' = 'házasban').
  • Personal possessive or verbal markers are attached last (e.g., 'házasban' + 'am' = 'házasbanam').
Root + Derivation + Case/Plural + Personal Marker
