Hungarian
Pronunciation

Pronoun
magát
Usage notes
- When the reflexive pronoun is the object of a verb, it is considered definite, so it takes the definite forms of the verb (such as kizárja instead of kizár and összeszedi instead of összeszed in the examples above, for back- and front-vowel verbs, respectively).
- Similarly to English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, etc., the form of magát changes with each person; see the declension table below.
Declension
As usual with possessive-suffixed forms, the word-final accusative suffix can be omitted in the first- and second-person singular. (In the plural, such an omission is less common, considered as folksy.)

| possessor | single possession | multiple possessions |
| 1st person sing. | magam(at) | — |
| 2nd person sing. | magad(at) | — |
| 3rd person sing. | magát | — |
| 1st person plural | magunkat | — |
