This template is for use with Hungarian regular nominals (nouns, adjectives, numerals and pronouns). It can also be used for abbreviations of nominals where suffixes are attached with a hyphen (-).

1=

The stem of the word, which must end in a vowel or a hyphen (for some abbreviations).

To construct the stem, take the plural of the word and remove the final -k. Examples:

Lemma: ház (“house”)

Plural: házak (“houses”)

Stem (parameter 1): háza

Lemma: CD

Plural: CD-k

Stem (parameter 1): CD-

To construct the stem for the inflection of a possessive form, take the accusative and remove the final -t:

Lemma: ablak (“window”)

3rd person possessive: ablaka (“his/her/its window”)

Accusative of 3rd person possessive: ablakát

Stem (parameter 1): ablaká

2=

The vowel in the ending of the allative singular (-hoz/-hez/-höz). Values can be:

o (for back a/á/o/ó/u/ú harmony)

e (for front unrounded e/é/i/í harmony)

ö (for front rounded ö/ő/ü/ű harmony)

3=

The vowel before the ending in the accusative singular. By default, this is the final vowel of the stem in parameter 1. Specifying this parameter replaces that vowel with another. If the word forms its accusative singular using the second stem (without the final vowel), use "-".

stem2=

Specifies the second stem: the stem that is used to form all of the singular cases except the accusative. By default, this is the regular stem with a final short low or mid vowel (a, e, o, ö) removed. Most of the time, stem2 will be the lemma.

pos=

The part of speech of the word in the plural, IF stem2 was supplied AND the word is not a noun. (All other words with stem2 are categorized under "Hungarian nouns with alternating stems" because most of these words are nouns.)

spe_sg_stem=

This should only be used together with stem2=, and specifies the stem of the superessive singular, if it is different from the stem2= value.

v=

Specifies which consonant replaces the "v" of the instrumental and translative singular endings. By default, this is the same as the final consonant of the second stem, or v if it ends in a vowel. For abbreviations or words with a foreign spelling, it's not possible to determine this from the spelling, so this parameter provides it. Proper nouns ending in two identical consonants, the parameter's value must be preceded by a hyphen:

Lemma: Baross

Parameter: v=-s

Instrumental singular case: Baross-sal

Translative singular case: Baross-sá

If the final double consonants are -tt, -nn, -kk, -bb, -rr, -hh, use the old templates that start with {{hu-decl}}. They will add the hyphen not just to the instrumental and translative cases, but to all appropriate cases.

n=

Can be sg, pl, or isg. The first two specify that the word has only singular or only plural forms, respectively (if left empty, the default is to show both). The value isg (for “-i-type singular”) is used when the singular inflection is needed, although the meaning of the word is plural, in the case of multiple-possession forms, which should be displayed in the plural column.

esm_sg=1

Specify this if the word has an essive-modal singular form. By default, this form is omitted.

esm_pl=1

Specify this if the word has an essive-modal plural form. By default, this form is omitted.

noposs=y

Specify this if the two rows for the non-attributive possessive forms should be blanked. By default, these forms are included.

For most words, the first two parameters are enough.

For ház:

{{hu-infl-nom|háza|o}}

For ablak:

{{hu-infl-nom|ablako|o}}

For ábra:

{{hu-infl-nom|ábrá|o}}

For öv:

{{hu-infl-nom|öve|ö}}

For összefüggő:

{{hu-infl-nom|összefüggőe|ö}}

For kedd:

{{hu-infl-nom|kedde|e}}

For kefe:

{{hu-infl-nom|kefé|e}}

If the word has essive-modal forms, the parameters for those are added too. For díj:

{{hu-infl-nom|díja|o|esm_sg=1|esm_pl=1}}

For eszperantó:

{{hu-infl-nom|eszperantó|o|esm_sg=1}}

For török:

{{hu-infl-nom|törökö|ö|esm_sg=1}}

For nő:

{{hu-infl-nom|nő|ö|esm_sg=1}}

For kert:

{{hu-infl-nom|kerte|e|esm_sg=1|esm_pl=1}}

Singular-only and plural-only nouns must specify the n= parameter.

For Románia:

{{hu-infl-nom|Romániá|o|n=sg}}

For Budapest:

{{hu-infl-nom|Budapeste|e|n=sg}}

For Falkland-szigetek:

{{hu-infl-nom|Falkland-szigete|e|n=pl}}

The third parameter must be specified if the final vowel of the stem is dropped before the accusative singular ending -t.

For asztal:

{{hu-infl-nom|asztalo|o|-}}

For Tokaj:

{{hu-infl-nom|Tokajo|o|-|n=sg}}

For kör:

{{hu-infl-nom|körö|ö|-}}

For Köln:

{{hu-infl-nom|Kölnö|ö|-|n=sg}}

For ösvény:

{{hu-infl-nom|ösvénye|e|-}}

Some words will alternate between two stems. The simplest (when it comes to parameters) are those where short vowels alternate with long ones.

For szamár:

{{hu-infl-nom|szamara|o|stem2=szamár}}

For úr:

{{hu-infl-nom|ura|o|stem2=úr}}

For tűz:

{{hu-infl-nom|tüze|ö|stem2=tűz}}

For levél:

{{hu-infl-nom|levele|e|stem2=levél}}

For név:

{{hu-infl-nom|neve|e|stem2=név}}

Some words have a fill vowel before the final consonant, which is lost whenever the final vowel of the stem is present (in the plural, accusative singular and superessive singular). In these cases, both stem parameters must be specified.

For hatalom (plural hatalmak):

{{hu-infl-nom|hatalma|o|stem2=hatalom|spe_sg_stem=hatalm}}

For álom (plural álmok):

{{hu-infl-nom|álmo|o|stem2=álom|spe_sg_stem=álm}}

For tükör (plural tükrök):

{{hu-infl-nom|tükrö|ö|stem2=tükör|spe_sg_stem=tükr}}

For fejedelem (plural fejedelmek):

{{hu-infl-nom|fejedelme|e|stem2=fejedelem|spe_sg_stem=fejedelm|esm_sg=1|esm_pl=1}}

There are 10 nouns with a v-stem (cső, fű, hó, kő, lé, ló, mű, szó, tó, tő). They will need one or both stem parameters, depending on how the superessive singular is formed.

For tó:

{{hu-infl-nom|tava|o|stem2=tó|spe_sg_stem=tav}}

For szó:

{{hu-infl-nom|szava|o|-|stem2=szó}}

For lé:

{{hu-infl-nom|leve|e|stem2=lé}}

For mű:

{{hu-infl-nom|műve|ö|stem2=mű|spe_sg_stem=műv}}

Abbreviations and words with foreign spellings must use the v= parameter, to indicate which final consonant is actually pronounced.

For ápr. (abbreviation of április):

{{hu-infl-nom|ápr.-o|o|-|v=s}}

For FÁK:

{{hu-infl-nom|FÁK-a|o|v=k|n=sg}}

For szept. (abbreviation of szeptember:

{{hu-infl-nom|szept.-e|e|-|v=r}}

For OS

{{hu-infl-nom|OS-e|e|-|v=s}}

The possessive forms of nominals can further be inflected by appending case suffixes. Final -a and -e change to -á and -é, respectively.

For ablaka (“his/her/its window”):

{{hu-infl-nom|ablaká|o|n=sg|esm_sg=1}}

For ablakunk (“our window”):

{{hu-infl-nom|ablakunka|o|n=sg|esm_sg=1}}

For kertje (“his/her/its garden”):

{{hu-infl-nom|kertjé|e|n=sg|esm_sg=1}}
