Template:hu-pos-ötök/documentation

Usage

This template generates the possessive forms of Hungarian nouns with the following characteristics:

• Their final letter is a consonant: kör (“circle”).
• They form their second-person possessive plural by adding -ötök: körötök (“your circle”).

The possessive template should be placed after the ====Declension==== header, under the regular declension template.
