"Apukád hol dolgozik?"

Translation: Where does your dad work?

[Kathy979841]

Sorry can you tell me what exactly is father, here it is apukad and before apam. I am confused

[96314081311257]

father = apa

Apuka, apu &c are diminutives.

[NagyS63]

where is your father working? -?

[Bastette54]

Or "where does your dad work?"

[Bastette54]

"-ka" is also a diminutive in Russian, and maybe other Slavic languages. Is that a coincidence, or was there some borrowing that happened?

[Erwinia87]

In Slavic languages "-ka" is added to the noun to form a feminine.
In Hungarian, "-ka" "-ke" and "-kó" are diminutive suffixes. They are related to the Finnish "-kka".
I like this children's song (Ici pici kis mese) which has several diminutives!

This should be Az apukád, no?
