-i
English
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From the Arabic nisba suffix ـِيّ (-iyy) or from Hebrew ־י (-i), both sharing a common Semitic root. In English, productive from the 19th century.
Pronunciation
[edit]Suffix

[edit]References
[edit]- OED, s.v. "-i, suffix2".
Etymology 2
[edit]From Latin -ī (nominative plural).
Pronunciation
[edit]- enPR: ī, IPA(key): /aɪ/ (traditional English)
- enPR: ē, IPA(key): /iː/ (rare; imitation of original Latin)
Suffix
[edit]-i
- Forms an alternative plural ending for various words borrowed from Latin that end in ⟨us⟩ in the singular.
Usage notes
[edit]- "Properly" or prescriptively speaking the ending is only applicable to words that were second-declension masculine nouns in Latin, such as the above examples. In practice it is often extended to cases like octopus (where the Latin plural was not *octopi but rather octopodes) and ignoramus (which was a verb in Latin, not a noun).

Usage notes
[edit]Sometimes additive after r stems.
Many verbs are intransitivized simply by changing the inflectional ending, without changing the stem; of those that do use an affix, it is not predictable which of -i, -nnig, -ller and -si are used. Also, verbs may use more than one of these, with similarly unpredictable results (e.g. errorsivoq (“wash clothes”) vs. erruivoq (“do dishes”), both from errorpaa). If a verb uses one of these affixes, the unaffixed intransitive form may be passive, reciprocal or reflexive w.r.t. the transitive form.

[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Adjective-forming suffix.
Suffix
[edit]-i
- (adjective-forming suffix) Added to proper nouns, certain common nouns and postpositions to form adjectives:
- names of places (toponyms)
- names of people (anthroponyms, thus eponyms)
- certain common nouns
- postpositions (as part of the phrase in which they occur)
Usage notes
[edit]- Final -o and -ö (which only occur in non-Hungarian words) change to -ó and -ő.[1]
- Oslo → oslói (“Oslovian”)
- Malmö → malmői (“Malmö-based”)
- Victor Hugo → Victor Hugó-i (“Hugolian, Hugonian, Hugoesque”)
- If the suffix -i were to follow word-final -i, only one is retained (so one needs to know the original form).[2][3]
- The other word-final short vowels (a, e, u, ü) remain unchanged (just like long ones and consonants).
- Names with a fleeting vowel: Eger → egri, as well as names ending in -halom, e.g. Szigethalom → szigethalmi.
- Names ending in -falu (e.g. Leányfalu) may be suffixed in three ways: The official way is retaining the full form, e.g. leányfalui; in the vernacular, leányfalusi may be heard; and forms like leányfalvi are increasingly rare.[4]
- Names ending in a possessive suffix such as -falva, -halma, -háza, -földe (outside elements of proper names: földje), -telke: Official usage increasingly prefers retaining the whole name (e.g. nyíregyházai from Nyíregyháza), though in common parlance the word-final a and e tend to be dropped (e.g. nyíregyházi). The drawback of the latter is that the original form cannot be established (as nyíregyházi could theoretically derive from a non-existent *Nyíregyház).[4]
- For non–proper noun elements with a possessive suffix, native speakers often have a hard time trying to add this suffix, e.g. whether the last element of (Erzsébet királyné) útja and (Örs vezér) tere should become úti and téri (losing the mark of the possessive) or útjai and terei (having an ambiguous sense, primarily used for multiple possessions). As a rule of thumb, the former solution may be preferable.[4]

Etymology 2
[edit]Possessive plural.
Suffix
[edit]-i
- possessive suffix for multiple possessions
- (with no noun for possessor) his, her, its ……-s (third-person singular; the pronoun ő (“s/he”) being optional for emphasis)
- kapu (“gate”) → a kapui (“his/her/its gates”), az ő kapui (“his/her gates”)
- érme (“coin”) → az érméi (“his/her/its coins”), az ő érméi (“his/her coins”)
- (with no noun for possessor, formal) your ……-s (second-person singular, grammatically resembling the third person sg.)
- kapu (“gate”) → a kapui (“your [formal] gates”), az ön kapui, a maga kapui (“your [formal] gates”)
- construed with a noun or certain pronouns as the possessor: ……’s ……-s, ……-s of …… (third-person sg. or pl., depending on the noun or pronoun)
- az ember(nek a) kapui ― the person’s gates
- a gyerek(nek az) érméi ― the child’s coins
- az emberek(nek a) kapui ― the people’s gates
- a gyerekek(nek az) érméi ― the children’s coins

- (with no noun for possessor) his, her, its ……-s (third-person singular; the pronoun ő (“s/he”) being optional for emphasis)
Usage notes
[edit]- (possessive suffix) Variants:
- -i is added to words ending in a vowel except -i. Final -a changes to -á-; final -e changes to -é-. The latter feature distinguishes it from the -i (adjective-forming suffix), which does not lengthen the preceding -a/-e.
- -ai is added to some back-vowel words ending in a consonant
- -ei is added to some front-vowel words ending in a consonant
- -jai is added to some back-vowel words ending in a consonant or the vowel -i
- -jei is added to some front-vowel words ending in a consonant or the vowel -i
- If the possessed noun is in the plural and the possessor is expressed in English with a possessive pronoun only (rather than a noun), e.g. “their toys” (as opposed to “the children’s toys”), the -ik/-aik/-eik/-jaik/-jeik suffixes are required in Hungarian.

Suffix
[edit]-i (non-active/imperative/basic -i, active meng- -i, passive di- -i, perfective passive ter- -i)
- verbal suffix for manipulating, completing, or placing the object from a noun.
- transitive verbal suffix for causation in surface of the object from an adjective.
- transitive verbal suffix for doing activity to the object from a transitive verb.
- transitive locative imperative verbal suffix from a noun:
- to apply or give [base] to the object.
- Hormati orang tua! ― honour/respect parent!
- to remove [base] from the object.
- kuliti ― (de)skin, peel
- to apply or give [base] to the object.
- transitive adverbial imperative verbal suffix from a noun: to act as/be [base] with reference to object
- Sutradarai film ini! ― Direct this movie! (literally, “Become the producer of this film!”)
Usage notes
[edit]- This suffix is never used after verbs ending in final -i for euphonic reasons and to avoid near-homophony with bare forms (-∅). Thus, beli (“to buy”) does not derive into *belii, although other colloquial suffixes allow violation of the previous rule such as beliin (“buy it!”). Other examples include cari (← *carii) and capai (← *capaii).
- When this suffix is combined with the prefixes meng-, di-, ter-, and ke-, the imperative aspect is lost.

[edit]Etymology 2
[edit]From Proto-Samic *-jëj.
Suffix
[edit]-i
- Forms adjectives indicating an abundance of something.
Usage notes
[edit]- This suffix triggers the strongest grade on a preceding stressed syllable.
Phonologically, the suffix is actually the consonant j, and so it forms a diphthong with the final vowel of the base word's stem rather than replacing that vowel. Thus, the resulting word is essentially identical to the illative singular form. The noun declines as a contracted stem, with the inflectional stem lacking the -i.

- frați + -i → frații
- copii + -i → copiii
The suffix is also used with masculine and neuter singular plural adjectives in the nominative and accusative cases to make the articulated definite form, often for emphasis, and it is used before the noun it modifies.

[edit]-i
- A suffix forming infinitives of many verbs.
Usage notes
[edit]- Most verbs with infinitives in -i are marked by the once-inchoative infix -esc- in many parts of their conjugation, as well as in various derived words; two such verbs are vorbi (“to say”) and iubi (“to love”).
- A sizable group of verbs have infinitives in -i but do not use the infix -esc-, and are otherwise fairly regular; these include, among others, the common verb dormi (“sleep”), simți (“feel”), auzi (“hear”).
- There is a variant form, -î, derived from the same Latin source.

Pronunciation
[edit]Suffix
[edit]-i
- marks a noun as possessed; used mostly with nouns referring to instruments, technologies, and manufactured products, and also with all loanwords
Etymology 2
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- -∅ (allophone after diphthongal i)
Pronunciation
[edit]Suffix
[edit]-i
- forms the singular of the recent past perfective tense
- forms the singular of the distant past perfective tense when both the agent and patient (if there is one) of the verb are third-person
Usage notes
[edit]This suffix does not cause syllable reduction. When it attaches to a stem that ends in a vowel followed by i, this suffix is unrealized (disappears).
The second sense can be readily distinguished from the first because it requires the distant-past third-person marker kün- instead of ordinary person markers.

[edit]Suffix

- forms the prohibitive mood
Usage notes
[edit]When the patient/object of a verb with this suffix is third-person, or when the object/patient is first-person and the subject/agent is second-person, it must also take the prefix ön- (or one of its allomorphs) after the person marker. However, this prefix is not found when the object/patient is first-person and the subject/agent is third-person.
