OblPlmk: Marking of nominal plurality is obligatory.
Examples:
Singular | Plural |
anya ‘mother’ | anyá-k |
eladó ‘cashier’ | eladó-k |
gyík ‘lizard’ | gyík-ok |
fa ‘tree’ | fá-k |
papír ‘paper’ | papír-ok |
In Hungarian, the plural is marked by the -k suffix, which is attached to nouns. The animacy hierarchy does not influence the marking of the plural (cf. Balogh 2000a: 185‒186, Kiefer 2003: 205).
