Usage notes

• (past-participle and past-tense suffix) Variants:

  -t is added to monosyllabic verbs ending in j, l, ly, n, ny, r (fáj, szel, fon, huny, sír) and to many bisyllabic verbs ending in -ad/-ed (akad, ered)

  -tt is added to verbs ending in a vowel (sző, nő, fő, lő, ró, rí)

  -ott is added to back-vowel verbs

  -ett is added to unrounded front-vowel verbs

  -ött is added to rounded front-vowel verbs

• (past-participle suffix) This form is the only option attributively. Predicatively, however, a construction of the existential verb van (or its negative form nincs) and the adverbial participle (with -va/-ve) is preferable,^[1] especially when speaking of the result achieved,^[2] although the suffix -t/-ott/-ett/-ött occurs predicatively as well, disputed as it may be.^[3]
