Um, what does this mean: 'No Agent noun will ever be if its verb had not being.'? Can someone put that into more idiomatically correct English? 115.131.5.238 (talk) 06:54, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Exclusive usage of present participle
editIn Hungarian, there is no systematic way to form agent nouns, except the nominalization of present participle (examples: dolgozó, szerelő, vezető – worker, mechanic, leader/driver, respectively). Should this be mentioned in the list, or is this a more widespread phenomenon which should have a section with a list of such languages? Bozonbozon (talk) 08:40, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
