In Hungarian, mutuality is expressed by the egymás reciprocal pronoun (1)–(3), which is distinct from the maga reflexive pronoun (4). The reciprocal pronoun can appear in various sentence functions (e.g. object, adjunct, modifier). Next to the word egymás, the subject can be plural (1), (3) or in a coordinated construction (2) (cf. Kenesei et al. 1998: 141‒149).
