	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template contains the necessary meta-data to allow users who are using accelerated editing to create any grammatical forms semi-automatically.

This template is designed for use with both regular and irregular Hungarian adjectives.

{{{1}}} = comparative suffix. If the adjective is not comparable, this parameter should be set to "-".

For regular adjectives, this template takes one parameter. The template calls the PAGENAME for the positive form and uses this as the base for the comparative and other forms.

Examples:

• előkelő ('elegant'; adds -bb to a vowel termination)

  {{hu-adj|bb}}

  • előkelő (comparative előkelőbb, superlative legelőkelőbb, exaggerated legeslegelőkelőbb)

• magas ('tall'; adds -abb to a consonant termination)

  {{hu-adj|abb}}

  • magas (comparative magasabb, superlative legmagasabb, exaggerated legeslegmagasabb)

• éles ('sharp'; adds -ebb to a consonant termination)

  {{hu-adj|ebb}}

  • éles (comparative élesebb, superlative legélesebb, exaggerated legeslegélesebb)

In cases where there is a vowel shift, the comparative must be added in full, using comp= (comparative= may also be used).

Examples:

• buta ('stupid'; final vowel shifts from a to á)

  {{hu-adj|comp=butább}}

  • buta (comparative butább, superlative legbutább, exaggerated legeslegbutább)

• fekete ('black'; final vowel shifts from e to é)

  {{hu-adj|comp=feketébb}}

  • fekete (comparative feketébb, superlative legfeketébb, exaggerated legeslegfeketébb)

For irregular adjectives, this template uses the comp= and sup= options, as needed. (comparative=, super=, and superlative= may also be used)

Examples:

• nagy ('big'; adds -obb to a consonant termination)

  {{hu-adj|obb}}

  • nagy (comparative nagyobb, superlative legnagyobb, exaggerated legeslegnagyobb)

• hosszú ('long'; final vowel changes)

  {{hu-adj|comp=hosszabb}}

  • hosszú (comparative hosszabb, superlative leghosszabb, exaggerated legesleghosszabb)

• szép ('beautiful'; vowel shifts and final consonant is dropped)

  {{hu-adj|comp=szebb}}

  • szép (comparative szebb, superlative legszebb, exaggerated legeslegszebb)

• felső ('top'; superlative drops suffix)

  {{hu-adj|bb|sup=legfelső}}

  • felső (comparative felsőbb, superlative legfelső, exaggerated legeslegfelső)

For adjectives with an additional form for the comparative and/or the superlative, this template uses the comp2= and sup2= options as needed. Both require the full form to be entered. These parameters can be combined with the normal suffix as the first parameter (if the regular form is to be given first) or the comp parameter (if the irregular form is to be given first, as in the example below).

Example:

• régi ('old'; can be either régebbi or régibb in the comparative and legrégebbi or legrégibb in the superative) – with the irregular forms first

  {{hu-adj|comp=régebbi|comp2=régibb|sup2=legrégibb}}

  • régi (comparative régebbi or régibb, superlative legrégebbi or legrégibb)

For adjectives without comparative forms, use 1=-.

Examples:

• angol ('English')

  {{hu-adj|-}}

  • angol (not comparable)

For such adjectives, use 1=- and enter the comparative ending in the second parameter.

Example:

• acélkék (‘steel blue’)

  {{hu-adj|-|ebb}}

  • acélkék (not generally comparable, comparative acélkékebb, superlative legacélkékebb)

If the word-final vowel is modified (e.g. in the case of adjectives ending in -a or -e), the following template may be used:
{{head|hu|adjective|not generally ]| |comparative|…ább|superlative|leg…ább}}, see e.g. automata.
