[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From -e- + -t (causative suffix).
Suffix
[edit]-et
- (causative suffix) Added to a verb (or extremely rarely to a noun) to form a verb with a meaning of letting, making somebody do something or having something done to someone or something.
- Synonyms: -tat/-tet, -aszt/-eszt/-öszt, -jt/-ajt/-ejt, -ít, -dít, (obsolete in this sense) -t
- néz (“to look”) + -et → nézet (“to have something (like a body part) looked at (by a doctor) or (less commonly) to make someone look at something”)
- ég (“to burn”) (intransitive) + -et → éget (“to make something burn or (less commonly) to have someone burn something”)
- mér (“to measure”) + -et → méret (“to make someone measure something or to have something measured”)
Usage notes
[edit]- (causative suffix) Variants:
- -at is added to back-vowel words ending in a consonant + t and most monosyllabic words
- -et is added to front-vowel words ending in a consonant + t and most monosyllabic words
- -tat is added to back-vowel words ending in a vowel + t
- tisztít (“to clean”) + -tat → tisztíttat (“to have someone clean or to have something cleaned”)

Etymology 2
[edit]From -e- + -t (noun-forming suffix).
Suffix
[edit]-et (noun-forming suffix)
- Added to a verb to form a noun, expressing the result of the action or sometimes a more abstract relation (compare -ás/-és).
Usage notes
[edit]Derived terms
[edit]Etymology 3
[edit]From -e- (linking vowel) + -t (accusative suffix).
Suffix
[edit]-et (accusative case suffix)
- Unrounded front-vowel variant of -t. See details there.
Usage notes
[edit]- (accusative case suffix): It can be added to nouns, adjectives, numerals and pronouns. Whether a suffix-initial vowel (linking vowel) will be used is hard to predict and thus needs to be learned with each word. A rule of thumb, however, is that older and shorter words tend to incorporate a vowel, rather than simply use -t. Variants:
- -t is added to words ending in a vowel. Final -a changes to -á-. Final -e changes to -é-. Final -o in foreign words changes to -ó-.
- -ot is added to most back-vowel words ending in a consonant
- -at is added to some back-vowel words ending in a consonant
- -et is added to unrounded (and some rounded) front-vowel words ending in a consonant
- -öt is added to most rounded front-vowel words ending in a consonant
- -∅ (zero form), optionally, after possessive suffixes, especially in the singular but sometimes also in the plural (and not infrequently after multiple-possession forms as well), except for the third-person singular (“his/her/its”, -ja/-je) as its omission would not reduce the number of syllables.
- Elviszem a kabátom(at/∅), kabátod(at/∅); kabátunk(at/∅), kabátotok(at/∅), kabátjuk(at/∅); kabátjaim(at/∅) etc.
- I’ll take my coat, your coat; our coat, [plural] your coat, their coat; my coats etc.
- It is also omitted usually from the accusative forms of first- and second-person singular personal pronouns (engem, téged (“me, you”)).

[edit]-et
- Suffix forming the definite singular forms of neuter nouns, especially if they end with a consonant or stressed vowel.
- Suffix forming the neuter forms of past participles of verbs belonging to the fourth declension (strong verbs). This may be analyzed as two morphemes: a combination of the suffix -en for past participle and -t for neuter, where the n of the first suffix disappears. Such an analysis is historically correct.
