Derived terms

Note that derived forms of ők use only “ő” as the first component; it is only the ending that marks the plural form (e.g. őalattuk (“under them”) as opposed to őalatta (“under him/her”), or ővelük (“with them”) as opposed to ővele (“with him/her”)). In all these forms, ő is optional and only serves for emphasis.

• őalattuk, őáltaluk, őelőttük etc. (ő[k] + a postposition with the third-person plural personal suffix; see Appendix:Hungarian postpositions)
• őnekik, ővelük, őhozzájuk etc. (ő[k] + one of the declined forms listed in the chart above; see Appendix:Hungarian pronouns)
