This paper discusses different cognate object constructions in Hungarian. Besides uncovering a wide variety of fake cognate constructions, it also discusses and analyses true, transitive and transitivizing cognate structures. An important conclusion drawn here is that the language lacks those aspectual cognate constructions where the object is both semantically and morphologically related to the prototypical unergative verb. The paper pays special attention to the cognate constructions built on the Hungarian verbs él ʼliveʼ and hal ʼdieʼ.
