Etymology 1Edit
SuffixEdit
-et
- (causative suffix) Added to a verb (or extremely rarely to a noun) to form a verb with a meaning of letting, making somebody do something or having something done to someone or something.
- néz (“to look”) → nézet (“to have something (like a body part) looked at (by a doctor) or (less commonly) to make someone look at something”)
- ég (“to burn; intransitive”) → éget (“to make something burn or (less commonly) to have someone burn something”)
- mér (“to measure”) → méret (“to make someone measure something or to have something measured”)
- Synonyms: -tat/-tet, -aszt/-eszt/-öszt, -jt/-ajt/-ejt, -ít, -dít, (obsolete in this sense) -t
Usage notesEdit
- (causative suffix) Variants:
- -at is added to back-vowel words ending in a consonant + t and most monosyllabic words
- -et is added to front-vowel words ending in a consonant + t and most monosyllabic words
- -tat is added to back-vowel words ending in a vowel + t
- tisztít (“to clean”) → tisztíttat (“to have someone clean or to have something cleaned”)

Etymology 3Edit
SuffixEdit
-et
- (accusative suffix) Used to form the accusative case.
- kert (“garden”) → Láttam egy gyönyörű kertet. – I saw a beautiful garden.
Usage notesEdit
- (accusative suffix): It can be added to nouns, adjectives, numerals and pronouns. Whether a suffix-initial vowel (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. Variants:
- -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 most back-vowel words ending in a consonant
- -at is added to some back-vowel words ending in a consonant
- -et is added to unrounded (and some rounded) front-vowel words ending in a consonant
- -öt is added to most rounded front-vowel words ending in a consonant
- -∅ (zero form), optionally, after possessive suffixes, especially in the singular but sometimes also in the plural (and not infrequently after multiple-possession forms as well), except for the third-person singular (“his/her/its”, -ja/-je) as its omission would not reduce the number of syllables.
- Elviszem a kabátom(at/∅), kabátod(at/∅); kabátunk(at/∅), kabátotok(at/∅), kabátjuk(at/∅); kabátjaim(at/∅) etc.
- I’ll take my coat, your coat; our coat, [plural] your coat, their coat; my coats etc.

- Suffix for the neuter form of past participles of verbs belonging to the fourth declension (strong verbs). This may be analyzed as two morphemes: a combination of the suffix -en for past participle and -t for neuter, where the n of the first suffix disappears. Such an analysis is historically correct.
