Usage

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 "-".

Regular adjectives

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)

Irregular adjectives

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)

Non-comparable adjectives

For adjectives without comparative forms, use 1=-.

Examples:

• angol ('English')

  {{hu-adj|-}}

  • angol (not comparable)
