Usage notes

• (accusative suffix): Can be added to nouns, adjectives and numerals. Whether a linking vowel will be used is hard to predict and thus needs to be learned with each word. A rule of thumb, however, is that older and shorter words tend to incorporate a vowel, rather than simply use -t.

  -t is added to words ending in a vowel. Final -a changes to -á-. Final -e changes to -é-. Final -o in foreign words changes to -ó-.

  -ot is added to some back vowel words ending in a consonant

  -at is added to some back vowel words ending in a consonant

  -et is added to unrounded front vowel words ending in a consonant

  -öt is added to rounded front vowel words ending in a consonant
