Questions & Answers about A kiszállási díjat holnap fizetem.
Why does díjat end in -t?
Because díjat is the direct object of the verb fizetem.
In Hungarian, a definite direct object usually gets the accusative ending -t:
- díj = fee
- díjat = fee (as the object)
The extra vowel in díjat is just there to make the word pronounceable. So it is not simply díj + t, but díj + at.
Why is it fizetem and not fizetek?
Because Hungarian has two main present-tense conjugation patterns:
- indefinite conjugation
- definite conjugation
Here the object is definite: a kiszállási díjat = the fee.
When the object is definite, Hungarian normally uses the definite conjugation:
- fizetek = I pay / I am paying (something non-specific)
- fizetem = I pay it / I am paying the specific one
So fizetem matches the definite object.
