hu-noun

A sablonról [sablondok. infó] [szerkesztés]

This template is designed for use with all Hungarian nouns. It should be used immediately following the ===Noun=== header, and provides the inflection line, showing the singular and plural forms of the nominative noun.

{{{1}}} = plural suffix. If the noun has no plural form, this parameter should be set to “-”.

Regular nouns

szerkesztés

For regular nouns, this template takes one parameter. The template calls the PAGENAME for the singular form and uses this as the base for the plural form.

Examples:
  • asztalterítő (‘tablecloth'; adds -k to form plural)
    {{hu-noun|k}}
  • hónap (‘month’; adds -ok to form plural)
    {{hu-noun|ok}}
  • nyelv (‘tongue, language'; adds -ek to form plural)
    {{hu-noun|ek}}
  • tök (‘pumpkin, squash’; adds -ök to form plural)
    {{hu-noun|ök}}


In cases where there is a vowel shift in the suffix, the shifted suffix is simply used.

Examples:
  • hal (‘fish’; adds -ak to form plural, even though -ok is expected)
    {{hu-noun|ak}}
  • szög (‘nail’; adds -ek to form plural, even though -ök is expected)
    {{hu-noun|ek}}

Irregular nouns

szerkesztés

For irregular nouns, where the stem drops a vowel to form the plural, the plural form must be given in full using the pl= option.

Examples:
  • álom (‘dream’; stem shortens to álm- by dropping the final vowel)
    {{hu-noun|pl=álmok}}
  • (‘horse’; the vowel shortens to lo and vak is added)
    {{hu-noun|pl=lovak}}

Nouns lacking a plural form

szerkesztés

For nouns without plural forms, use 1=-.

Example:
  • angol (‘the English language’)
    {{hu-noun|-}}
    • angol (uncountable)

Nouns which are both countable and uncountable

szerkesztés

Some nouns have no plural for one sense, but do have one for another sense. For these, use 1=- and use the second parameter to give the plural ending, or the pl= parameter if it is irregular.

Example:
  • portugál (‘the Portuguese language’ or ‘a Portuguese person’)
    {{hu-noun|-|ok}}
    • portugál (countable and uncountable, plural portugálok)

Nouns with two plural forms

szerkesztés

Some nouns have two plurals: with and without stem change. In these cases the second plural is provided by alt= and then the second plural (short for alternative). Such nouns are collected in Category:Hungarian nouns with multiple plural forms

Example:
and for the other order of appearance:
{{hu-noun|pl=varjak|alt=varjúk}}
