Could some kind person please help to explain how we form "in" for the word endings of "nyár" and "ősz" Thanks
Summer and winter take the -n ending with appropriate linking vowel, as if you were saying "on" summer and "on" winter: nyáron and télen
Spring and autumn take the -val/-vel ending (which isn't explained as a topic on Duo), as if you were saying "with spring" and "with autumn." The v of this ending assimilates with other consonants, so you get
ősz + vel = ősszel "in autumn"
tavasz + val = tavasszal "in spring"

Thanks very much for that jsiehler, it would seem that nothing is straight forward with this language. :)

It's also worth pointing out that ősz + vel becomes ősz+szel, and when you have two digraphs (cs, gy, sz, ty, ...) in a row, you only use the first glyph for the first one. So őszszel becomes ősszel. Similarly, cscs becomes ccs, gygy becomes ggy, and so on.
