Vowel harmony

There are two groups of vowels in Hungarian:

  • back (low) vowels: a, á, o, ó, u, ú
  • front (high) vowels: e, é, i, í, ö, ő, ü, ű

As a rule of the thumb, the vowels in the ending (including the linking vowels) depend on the last vowel of the stem as follows: a back vowel in the stem is followed by back vowels, and a front vowel is followed by front vowels.

(Actually, the unrounded front vowels – i and í, as well as é and e – are neutral or transparent. This means that if there are transparent vowels at the end of the stem, they won’t influence the following vowels, and the last non-transparent vowel determines the ending instead. In other words, the ending will mostly have a back vowel after netural vowels.)

This phenomenon is called vowel harmony, and it is true for almost all endings in Hungarian. Vowel harmony is present in some other languages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel_harmony
