In Hungarian a word has usually 2500 forms. |
|||
Therefore a Hungarian dictionary with all forms would contain 1 million * 2500 words, |
|||
that is 2.5 GWords, approx 20 GBytes, that can not be handled by computers |
|||
and handling it would make no sense. |
|||
Yes, hunspell handles that perfectly, it also handles vowel harmony. |
|||
What about Apertum to handle Hungarian? [[User:Muki987|Muki987]] 10:56, 6 April 2009 (UTC) |

:I've played about with [[hunmorph]] — one of its limitations iirc is that it cannot do generation, only analysis. My personal preference for handling languages like Hungarian and Finnish etc. is to use something like [[SFST]] (see also [[Omorfi]]). The problem of course is then to get someone to write the actual code. - [[User:Francis Tyers|Francis Tyers]] 12:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC) |

In Hungarian there is simply too much to generate. Not sure with Finnish&Turkish&Basque&Persian, but they also have a lot. I give you an example: |
|||
* ház (house) |
|||
* házhoz to the .. |
|||
* háztól from the.. |
|||
* házig up to.. |
|||
* háznak of the.. |
|||
* háznál at the |
|||
* házba into.. |
|||
* házban in the... |
|||
* házból from the... |
|||
* házról about ... |
|||
* házra on top of the... |
|||
* házon on the .... |
|||
* házzá become a ... |
|||
* házat it (accusativ) - 14 |
|||
* házam (my house - repeat all previous to this like:) -- 28 |
|||
** házamhoz ... |
|||
... |
|||
** házamat ... |
|||
* házad (your house repeat all previous to this) -42 |
|||
* háza (his, her, its house repeat all previous to this) - 56 |
|||
* házunk (our house repeat all previous to this) -- 70 |
|||
* házatok (your house repeat all previous to this) - 84 |
|||
* házuk (their house repeat all previous to this) - 98 |
|||
* házé (of the house repeat all previous to this) - 112 |
|||
* házamé (of my house -repeat all previous to this) - 126 |
|||
... |
|||
* házuké (of their house -repeat all previous to this) - 210 |
|||
* házak (plural - repeat all previous for this up to here) 420 |
|||
... |
|||
* házacska ( a little house - repeat all prevoius up to here) 840 |
|||
* házikó ( a little house- repeat all prevoius, except last) 1260 |
|||
* házas (married- repeat all previous for this up to here, except the last 2) 1680 |
|||
... |
|||
* you can see, it is almost trivial to get thousands of words just without a grammar book for each substantive. |
|||
In my opinion if we get a word, házaitokétól, (which is not unusual) we need an analysis tool, that shows: |
|||
* házaitokétól (from something of your houses) |
|||
* this is from ház |
|||
* it is plural |
|||
* it suits to the prefix "from" |
|||
* it suits to "plural you" |
|||
* the houses own something |
|||
* the owned thing is singular (otherwise it would be házaitokéitól) |
|||
With this knowledge we can construct the English (or Spanish, German, etc...) form. [[User:Muki987|Muki987]] 20:14, 6 April 2009 (UTC) |
