-ok

A suffix used to form the plurals of some animate words.
agaskw (“woodchuck”) → agask(w)ok (“woodchucks”)

Used to form the plurals of many words ending in w (which it may suppress), and of some other words (which likely ended in w at an earlier stage of the language).
See the usage notes at -ak.

-ok

There are two uses for this suffix:
- Replacing the normal plural -ak when the speaker/interlocutor is part of a group.
- A clitic equivalent of hauek (“these”). However, they aren't exact synonyms, as -ok often implies a real physical proximity.
The inflection is similar to that of -ak, but replacing -e- by -o-.

‎kor (“age”) + ‎-ok → ‎korok (“ages”)

Az elektromos autók hangtalanok. ― Electric cars are quiet.

Note that the plural form is not used after definite and indefinite numerals in Hungarian: három könyv (“three books”), néhány óra múlva (“in a few hours’ time”). There are very few (traditional, archaic) exceptions, including háromkirályok (“the Three Magi”), mindenszentek (“All Saints”), and certain archaic phrases with összes (“all”) and minden (“every”) (see their Usage notes).
The regular plural suffix for back-vowel adjectives is -ak, for example okosak (“smart/clever ones”). On the other hand, ethnonyms take -ok (e.g. olaszok (“Italians”), see the back-vowel terms in their category), as well as some other adjectives, including privative (“…-less”) ones (formed with -talan, -atlan, or -tlan). Rounded front-vowel adjectives normally take -ek, for example zöldek (“green ones”), except for demonyms (see rounded front-vowel terms in their category).
If a word can be both a noun and an adjective, the form of its ending gives information about its function, e.g. játékosok (“players”, noun) and játékosak (“playful”, adjective as part of a plural predicate). The same distinction also exists with words with rounded front vowels, e.g. ismerős: ismerősök (“acquaintances”, noun) and ismerősek (“familiar”, adjective as part of a plural predicate).

From -o- (linking vowel) +‎ -k (personal suffix).

-ok

(personal suffix) Forms the first-person singular present tense of verbs (indicative mood, indefinite conjugation).
‎ír (“to write”) + ‎-ok → ‎írok (“I write, I am writing”)
