Template:hu-noun/documentation

This template provides the inflection line of a Hungarian singular noun. It is placed immediately below the ===Noun=== header to show the inflection line, the singular and plural forms of a nominative noun.

Unnamed parameters

 * 1
 * plural suffix, values can be:
 * if the noun has a plural form
 * (a hyphen) will display uncountable (or usually uncountable when followed by a plural form)
 * (a tilde) will display countable and uncountable, plural xx where xx is the full plural form
 * no parameters: will display the lemma itself

Named parameters

 * pl
 * provide the full plural form for nouns with non-standard plural


 * 1, alt
 * provide the regular and alternative plural for nouns with two plural forms


 * 1
 * disable adding to Category:Hungarian palindromes, for terms like that look like palindromes but aren't

Regular nouns
For regular nouns, this template takes one parameter. The template calls the PAGENAME for the singular form and uses this as the base for the plural form.


 * Examples:
 * For (adds -k to form plural):
 * k
 * For (adds -ok to form plural):
 * ok
 * For (adds -ek to form plural):
 * ek
 * For (adds -ök to form plural):
 * ök
 * For (adds -ök to form plural):
 * ök
 * ök

In cases where there is a vowel shift in the suffix, the shifted suffix is simply used.


 * Examples:
 * For (adds -ak to form plural, even though -ok is expected):
 * ak
 * For (adds -ek to form plural, even though -ök is expected):
 * ek
 * ek

Irregular nouns
For irregular nouns, where the stem drops a vowel to form the plural, the plural form must be given in full using the pl= option.


 * Examples:
 * For (stem shortens to álm- by dropping the final vowel):
 * hu-noun
 * For (the vowel shortens to lo and vak is added):
 * hu-noun
 * hu-noun

Nouns with two plural forms
Some nouns have two plurals: with and without stem change. In these cases the second plural is provided by alt and then the second plural (short for alternative). Such nouns are collected in Category:Hungarian nouns with multiple plural forms.


 * Example:
 * For :
 * k


 * and for the other order of appearance:
 * hu-noun

Nouns lacking a plural form
For nouns without plural forms, use -.


 * Example:
 * For :

Nouns not usually having a plural form
If a plural form is still supplied as a second parameter (either unnamed or named pl or plural or alt), then the description will be usually uncountable, plural followed by the plural form based on the second parameter.


 * Example:
 * For (normally uncountable as ‘the metal gallium’; but occasionally also countable as ‘a piece of this metal’):

Nouns which are both countable and uncountable
Some nouns have no plural for one sense, but do have one for another sense. For these, use 1=~ and use the second parameter to give the plural ending, or the pl= parameter if it is irregular.


 * Example:
 * For :
