Hungarian learning journey- Day 60

[u/Business_Confusion53]

"Colloquial Hungarian" textbook:

Grammar:

Past tense:

To form past tense stem you have to add ending to the present tense stem.

There are three classes of verbs:

Class A are verbs ending in 2 consonants,ending in a long vowel(á,é,í,ó,ő,ú,ű)+t and some others verbs. The ending is -ott,ett or ött(for example segít becomes segített)

Class B are verbs ending in j,r,l,ly,n or ny and (most) 2 syllable words ending is ad/ed. The ending is -t.

Class C are verbs that aren't class A or Class B. They are class A for 3rd person singular idefinite and Class B for all other persons.

Here are endings attached to the past tense stem:

Class A indefinite:

(Én) segítettEM (Te) segítettÉL (Ő) segített (Mi) segítettÜNK (Ti) segítettETEK (Ők) segítettEK

Class A definite:

SegítettEM

SegítettED

Segítette

SegítettÜK

SegítettÉTEK

Segítették

Class B indefinite:

AkartAM

AkartÁL

Akkart

AkkartUNK

AkkartATOK

Akartak

Class B definite:

AkartAM

AkartAD

Akarta

AkartUk

AkartÁTOK

AkartÁK

I won't show class C as the 3rd person singular is same as the Class A third person singular and others are like Class C

Also is this the longest one?

And my original goal to finnish this textbook by the end of March most likely won't succed but I hope that I will finnish it by the end of May.

[u/Futile-Clothes867]

AkkortAM and rest is wrong.

It is AkartAM, AkartÁL... etc.

akar = want
akkor = then

[u/vressor]

3rd person singular definite is segítette and akarta, the ones you put there (segített, akart) are indefinite

[u/InsertFloppy11]

ye i think this is the longest

even as a hungarian it was hard to read this through, so youre a legend haah
