520 _a"Hungarian grammar" by Charles Arthur Ginever and Ilona De Györy Ginever is a language textbook written in the early 20th century. It presents a practical, streamlined introduction to Hungarian aimed at learners, emphasizing pronunciation, vowel harmony, suffix-based grammar, and clear usage rules, with exercises, vocabularies, and everyday phrases. The opening of this grammar explains its aim to dispel the idea that Hungarian is hard, then lays out the alphabet, sounds, and vowel harmony (flat, sharp, mediate), compound consonants, and fixed stress. It introduces articles (a/az, and the sparing use of egy), basic noun number formation (including special plural patterns and contractions), and four core cases expressed by suffixes, with possession handled via personal endings and the “van” construction instead of “to have.” It then details personal possessive suffixes, and the language’s extensive place-and-direction system through suffixes and postpositions (with pronominal forms), followed by adjectives (attributive vs. predicative, comparison with -bb and leg-), numerals, and telling time. The verb section begins with the central contrast between definite and indefinite conjugations tied to object definiteness, outlines iktelen and ikes patterns with key tenses, notes the absence of a passive, and highlights features like -lak/-lek when “I” acts on “you,” all reinforced by brief exercises and word lists.
