-t

From Middle English -te (preterite ending), -t (past participle ending), from Old English -te, -de (first and third person preterite ending), -t, -ed, -od (past participle ending), from Proto-Germanic *-id- (preterite stem ending of class 1 weak verbs) and *-idaz (past participle ending of class 1 weak verbs).

In some verbs, like lose/lost, the -t-/-t was merely an alteration of earlier -d-/-d during the Middle English period. See -ed.

-t

1. Forms the past tense and/or past participle of some verbs (leapt, kept, dreamt, blest, etc.)

Some verbs have both an -ed and a -t form. The -t form has become obsolete for many verbs, e.g. toucht.

Usually for verbs with "eep" or "end" at the end (e.g. kept for keep, slept for sleep, wept for weep, bent for bend, sent for send, went for wend); more rarely for nasals and “l” (e.g. burnt for burn, dreamt for dream, dealt for deal, spelt for spell).

• -ed

From Middle English -t (e.g. aȝenst vs. aȝens (“against”)), likely resulting from -s + the, or various other words beginning with th-, t-.

-t

2. An excrescent ending appended to words suffixed with -s.

   against, amidst, amongst, betwixt, whilst, twicet

As with -st, in many cases when there is a shorter synonymous word (as in among/amongst), the form with -t is considered more formal, old-fashioned, affected, and British.

• -st

From Middle English -t, from Old English -t, variant of -þ (“-th”) following spirant/fricative sounds, from Proto-Germanic *-þiz. More at -th.

-t

2. Used to form nouns from verbs of action; equivalent to -th.

   ‎arise + ‎-t → ‎arist

   ‎drive + ‎-t → ‎drift

   ‎see + ‎-t → ‎sight

   ‎thieve + ‎-t → ‎theft

   ‎thrive + ‎-t → ‎thrift

Suffix from Middle English -ten, from Old English -ettan, from Proto-West Germanic *-attjan, from Proto-Germanic *-atjaną.

-t

1. Verbs formed from nouns or adjectives (compare English -ate, -ize), frequently having a causative force, or modified from an existing verb into a frequentative verb (no longer productive)

   yeet, grunt, fidget, haunt (via French), elt (via Old Norse).

-t

2. (African-American Vernacular, slang) An intensifier added to the end of words ending in <d>, representing a change in pronunciation from /d/ to /t/. (Should we delete⁽⁺⁾ this sense?)

   ‎period + ‎-t → ‎periodt

   ‎good + ‎-t → ‎goodt

-t (personal)

1. (enclitic, after a vowel) Alternative form of et
2. (enclitic, after a vowel) Alternative form of te

From Proto-Finnic *-t, from Proto-Uralic *-t. The use as an accusative singular ending for pronouns is more recent; in the older language and many dialects, the "regular" accusative forms like minun (identical to the genitive forms) are used. The accusative use is likely by analogy with the nominative plural forms (note that the accusative plural is identical to the nominative plural for most nominals).

-t

1. (case suffix) Forms the nominative and accusative plural.

   ‎kissa (“cat”) + ‎-t → ‎kissat (“cats”)

2. (case suffix) Forms the accusative forms of the personal pronouns and the interrogative pronoun ken.

   minut ― me

   kenet? ― who(m)?

• Suffixed to the genitive singular stem. The accusative plural is identical with the nominative plural and is used for certain direct objects.
• The personal pronouns and ken have this ending in the accusative; they are the only words that have different genitive and accusative singular forms.
  • See the appendix on Finnish nominal cases for more information on how the accusative case is used.

• -n

From Proto-Finnic *-t, from Proto-Uralic *-t, probably related to second-person pronouns *tinä, *te.

-t

1. (personal) Forms the second person singular of verbs.

Suffixed to the same stem as the first person singular suffix both in the present and the past tense.

• Wikipedia article on Finnish grammar

• -n
• -mme
• -tte
• -vat / -vät

• -it (varies depending on sound laws)

-t (Pulaar)

1. indicates that the verb is repeated

   ‎joorde (“to pour”) + ‎-t → ‎joortaade (“to pour again”)

2. indicates that the action of the verb is reversed or undone

   ‎jókkude (“to sew together, fasten”) + ‎-t → ‎jókkitde (“to break”)

• M. Niang, Pulaar-English English-Pulaar Standard Dictionary, New York: Hippocrene Books, 1997.

From Middle High German -et, from a merger of several Old High German conjugational endings, from Proto-Germanic, from Proto-Indo-European.

• IPA^(key): /t/

-t

1. Verb suffix for the third-person singular of the present tense.

   ‎lachen (“to laugh”) + ‎-t → ‎er lacht (“he laughs”)

   ‎spielen (“to play”) + ‎-t → ‎sie spielt (“she plays”)

• The suffix becomes -et after d, t: er wartet. However, in strong verbs with a vowel change it is deleted instead: er rät. (Note er lädt with a silent -t.) It is also not used in the seven preterite-presents: er darf, kann, mag, muss, soll, weiß, will.

-t

1. Verb suffix for the second-person plural of the present and past tenses.

   ‎lachen (“to laugh”) + ‎-t → ‎ihr lacht (“you [all] laugh”)

   ‎spielen (“to play”) + ‎-t → ‎ihr spielt (“you [all] play”)

• The suffix becomes -et after d, t: ihr wartet. There are no exceptions.
• The form ihr seid is exceptionally spelt with a -d (by analogy with sind and in order to distinguish from seit).

-t

1. Verb suffix for the past participle of weak verbs, together with the prefix ge- if the first syllable of the verb stem is stressed. See ge- -t for more.

   ‎lachen (“to laugh”) + ‎-t → ‎gelacht (“laughed”)

   ‎passieren (“to happen”) + ‎-t → ‎passiert (“happened”)

   ‎verurteilen (“to convict”) + ‎-t → ‎verurteilt (“convicted”)

• The suffix becomes -et after d, t: gewartet. However, gesandt and gewandt show a vowel change and silent -t.

• IPA^(key): [t]

First attested in the end of 12th century. Of debated origin. According to the most accepted theory, it is from a possessive suffix that originated either from a *t-initial demonstrative pronoun or from the Proto-Uralic *tᴕ̈ (“you”) personal pronoun.^[1]

-t (accusative case suffix)

2. Forms the accusative case for nouns, adjectives, pronouns and numerals.

   külföldi (“foreigner”) → Sok külföldit láttam a városban. ― I saw many foreigners in the city.

   óra (“clock, watch, hour”) → Vettem egy órát. ― I bought a watch.

   ember (“human”) → Sok embert láttunk. ― We saw many people.

   kettő (“two”) → Hány könyvet vettél? ― Kettőt. ― How many books did you buy? ― Two.

• (accusative case suffix): It can be added to nouns, adjectives, numerals and pronouns. Whether a suffix-initial vowel (linking vowel) will be used is hard to predict and thus needs to be learned with each word. A rule of thumb, however, is that older and shorter words tend to incorporate a vowel, rather than simply use -t. Variants:

  -t is added to words ending in a vowel. Final -a changes to -á-. Final -e changes to -é-. Final -o in foreign words changes to -ó-.

  -ot is added to most back-vowel words ending in a consonant

  -at is added to some back-vowel words ending in a consonant

  -et is added to unrounded (and some rounded) front-vowel words ending in a consonant

  -öt is added to most rounded front-vowel words ending in a consonant

  -∅ (zero form), optionally, after possessive suffixes, especially in the singular but sometimes also in the plural (and not infrequently after multiple-possession forms as well), except for the third-person singular (“his/her/its”, -ja/-je) as its omission would not reduce the number of syllables.

  Elviszem a kabátom(at/∅), kabátod(at/∅); kabátunk(at/∅), kabátotok(at/∅), kabátjuk(at/∅); kabátjaim(at/∅) etc.

  I’ll take my coat, your coat; our coat, [plural] your coat, their coat; my coats etc.

  It is also omitted usually from the accusative forms of first- and second-person singular personal pronouns (engem, téged (“me, you”)).

• Past-participle suffix: From Proto-Uralic *-tt. First attested in 1055.
• Past-tense suffix: From the past-participle suffix. First attested in the end of 12th century. ^[1]

-t

2. past-tense and past-participle suffix (homonymous form in the vast majority of verbs):
   1. (past-tense suffix) -ed, -t (forms the past tense of a verb)

      él (“to live”) → Kínában élt 10 évig. ― He lived in China for 10 years.

   3. (past-participle suffix) -ed, -t (forms the past participle of a verb)

      zár (“to close”) → Zárt ajtók mögött tanácskoztak. ― They held a discussion behind closed doors.

• (past-participle and past-tense suffix) Variants:

  -t is added to monosyllabic verbs ending in j, l, ly, n, ny, r (fáj, szel, fon, huny, sír) and to many bisyllabic verbs ending in -ad/-ed (akad, ered)

  -tt is added to verbs ending in a vowel (sző, nő, fő, lő, ró, rí)

  -ott is added to back-vowel verbs

  -ett is added to unrounded front-vowel verbs

  -ött is added to rounded front-vowel verbs

• (past-participle suffix) This form is the only option attributively. Predicatively, however, a construction of the existential verb van (or its negative form nincs) and the adverbial participle (with -va/-ve) is preferable,^[5] especially when speaking of the result achieved,^[6] although the suffix -t/-ott/-ett/-ött occurs predicatively as well, disputed as it may be.^[3]

First attested in 1055. From Proto-Uralic *-tt.^[1]

-t

2. (noun-forming suffix) Added to a verb to form a noun.

   ‎lesz (“to become something”) + ‎-t → ‎lét (“existence, life”)

• -at/-et (noun-forming suffix preceded by a linking vowel)
• -ta/-te (noun-forming suffix, supplemented with a fixed possessive suffix)
• -tó/-tő (adjective-forming suffix; only in certain fixed forms:) álltó, ültő, dialectally also fektő
