- (accusative 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 some back vowel words ending in a consonant
- -at is added to some back vowel words ending in a consonant
- -et is added to unrounded front vowel words ending in a consonant
- -öt is added to rounded front vowel words ending in a consonant
- (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”) → tisztíttat (“to have someone clean”)
- -tet is added to front vowel words ending in a vowel + t
- keres (“to look for”) → kerestet (“to have someone look for”)

- Suffix for definite form singular of neuter nouns, especially if they end with consonant or a stressed vowel.

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.
