Template:hu-pos-otok/documentation

Usage

This template generates the possessive forms of Hungarian nouns with the following characteristics:

• Their final letter is a consonant: telefon (“phone”).
• They form their second-person possessive plural by adding -otok: telefonotok (“your phone”).

The possessive template should be placed after the ====Declension==== header, under the regular declension template.
