Review Summary

  • Infinitive stem + possessive suffix + kell

أخطاء شائعة

While 'Nekem kell menni' is understood, using the personal suffix 'mennem' is much more natural and idiomatic in Hungarian.

Wrong: Nekem kell menni.
صحيح: Mennem kell.

The word 'kell' is an impersonal verb and never changes form to match the subject pluralization.

Wrong: Mennünk kellenek.
صحيح: Mennünk kell.

When using the third person, ensure you use the correct vowel harmony and suffix (-a/-e or -ja/-je) for the infinitive stem.

Wrong: Menne kell.
صحيح: Mennie kell.
