Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to draw up a comparative analysis of morphemes accounting for the number and case inflection categories in Hungarian and Romanian. I have approached aspects related to the morphological structure of these unrelated languages so as to highlight both shared and divergent structural elements. The differences particularly pinpoint the two divergent morphological types, the agglutinative and the inflectional one in Hungarian and Romanian. However, the two languages do not make exclusive use of only one of these two types. Moreover, I have not tackled all inflectional paradigms but merely the aspects pointing at the different morphological structure of nouns in the two languages. I have reinforced my analysis with several examples from the two languages.
