Review Summary

  • Verb stem + -na/-ne/-ná/-né

اشتباهات رایج

The stem for 'to eat' (enni) changes to 'enn-' before adding the suffix.

Wrong: Én eszne.
صحیح: Én ennék.

Avoid using 'volna' when the suffix alone is sufficient for the conditional.

Wrong: Ő szeretni volna.
صحیح: Ő szeretne.

You must match the personal suffix ending (-nék for 'I').

Wrong: Én menna.
صحیح: Én mennék.

Use vowel harmony. If the stem has back vowels (a, o, u), use -na. If it has front vowels (e, ö, ü), use -ne.
Verbs ending in s, sz, z, dz take the long -ná/-né suffix.
