-t
English
Etymology 1
From Middle English -te (preterite ending), -t (past participle ending), from Old English -te, -de (first and third person preterite ending), -t, -d (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.
Suffix
-t
- Forms the past tense and/or past participle of some verbs (leapt, kept, dreamt, blest, etc.)
Usage notes
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 (e.g. burnt for burn, dreamt for dream).

Finnish
Etymology 1
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).
Suffix
-t
- (case suffix) Forms the nominative and accusative plural.
- (case suffix) Forms the accusative forms of the personal pronouns and the interrogative pronoun ken.
Usage notes
- 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.
nominative | accusative |

minä | minut |
sinä | sinut |
hän | hänet |
me | meidät |
te | teidät |
he | heidät |

Usage notes
- 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.

Suffix
-t
- Verb suffix for the past participle of weak verbs, often together with the prefix ge-. See ge- -t for more.

Hungarian
Pronunciation
Etymology 1
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]
Suffix
-t (accusative case suffix)
- 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.
Usage notes
- (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”)).

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

- Opposed to absolutive suffixes, construct suffixes used are -w (for vowel-ending stems), -(zero) (for consonant-ending stems) and -yu ("inalienable possession" marker)
Swedish
Suffix
-t
- Suffix to create the definite singular form of neuter nouns ending in an unstressed vowel: hjärta (“heart”) → hjärtat (“the heart”)
- Suffix for creating adverbs out of adjectives: långsam (“slow”) → långsamt (“slowly”)
- Suffix used on the positive form of adjectives to denote that the corresponding noun is of neuter gender, indefinite form: en gul bil (“a yellow car”) → ett gult hus (“a yellow house”), the latter being neuter. However, the -a suffix is used for definite form independent of gender: den gula bilen (“the yellow car”) → det gula huset (“the yellow house”).
- Suffix to form the past participle of weakly inflected verbs, to be used when the corresponding participle belongs with a neuter noun in indefinite singular form.
- Suffix for forming supine of verbs of the first (ar-verbs) and second (weak er-verbs) conjugations; see also -it and -tt
