alatti
Hungarian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]alatt (“under”) + -i (adjective-forming suffix). It is an adjective formed from a postposition, so that it can be used attributively to mark the qualifier of a noun (preceding it), rather than marking the modifier of a verb (or verb derivative), like an adverbial.
Pronunciation
[edit]Adjective
