Thanks, , , the explanation is very good 💖💖

20:14 Why is it zero-alternation and not zero-affixation? In fact, why is it not a separate category?

23:09 Actually English developed something like that lately. In one of his videos MrBeast asked "Is he stuck?". Someone replied "Yeah!", then MrBeast asked "But is he stuck stuck?". What he meant is 'Is that person actually, physically stuck somewhere?', so doubling up is sometimes used in English for extra emphasis.

33:57 You pronounced it perfectly this time. 🙂
It's worth mentioning that Hungarian cases are not like Slavic cases or the cases in German. While in German and Slavic languages cases "contain" multiple prepositions, in Hungarian each case has only one suffix.

Thank you so much for the explanation. I have a remark about the morpheme /z/ mentioned in the video, I think that English has one plural morpheme which is /+S/ not /+z/.

I picked up some good, grammar lessons here, I skipped quite a bit of grammar (elementary) school, when the fishing was good. It's playing hooky.

why you don't discuss the inflectional morphemes?

[CysteicAcid]

why is haz+am+ban different from in+my+house? If you in english insisted to write it like inmyhouse couldnt you claim it to be a word with morphological processes? Love the videos btw. Why isnt "am" in hungarian considered a possisive noun like in english?

[Pedro-dscq]

I would call it zero affixation and not alternation
