Creating Adverbs


Here are two common adverb-making suffixes.

Essive-Modal (-l/ul/-ül)

Front-voweled words take -ül, back-voweled words take -ul and words ending in vowels take -l

Essively, meaning that a noun is given a role to fulfill, as something. This is done to nouns.

  • Például - (As an example) From példa
  • Ajándékul - (As a gift) From ajándék

Modally, describes the manner of the person/people doing the verb. This is done to adjectives.

  • Jól - (Well) From
  • Rosszul - (Badly) From rossz
  • Makacsul - (Stubbornly) From makacs
  • Remekül - (Superbly) From remek
  • Egyedül - (Alone)

It is also used to show the language someone speaks.

  • Magyarul - (lit. Hungarianly) From magyar
  • Angolul - (lit. Englishly) From angol
  • Németül - (lit. Germanly) From német
  • Finnül - (lit. Finnishly) From finn

Adverbial (-n/-an/-en/-on)

Front-voweled words take -en, back-voweled words take -an,-on and words ending in vowels take -n. This is done to adjectives.

  • Gyorsan - (Quickly) From gyors
  • Gyakran - (Frequently) From gyakor
  • Csendesen - (Silently) From csend
  • Szépen - (Beautifully/Nicely) From szép
  • Nagyon - (Very) From nagy
  • Gazdagon - (Richly) From gazdag
  • Ritkán - (Rarely) From ritka

Look out for irregularites!

  • Lassan - (Slowly) From lassú

Creating Nouns


There are two ways of creating nouns, the former deals with adjectives/nouns/verbs becoming nouns and the latter with only verbs becoming nouns.

"-ness"(-ság/-ség)

Front-voweled words take -ség, back-voweled words take -ság. Crudely speaking, this can be thought of as a "-ness" ending, but it also turns nouns and verbs into nouns.

  • Sötétség - (Darkness) From sötét
  • Segítség - (Help) From segít
  • Rendőrség - (Police) From rendőr
  • Igazság - (Truth) From igaz
  • Szabadság - (Freedom) From szabad

Verb to Noun (-ás/-és)

Front-voweled words take -ás, back-voweled words take -és.

  • Utazás - (Journey) From utaz
