To serve as a modifier in pre-head position, adpositional phrases must be embedded in a participial expression formed with a copula, or be transformed into a modifier by the suffix -i.
| a | kertben | levő | / | kert-i | pavilon |
| the | garden-INE | being | / | garden-ATTR | gazebo |
’the gazebo in the garden’
