Exceptions are when consonants in affixes get naturally joined into compound consonants in speaking, or shifting between voiced and unvoiced consonants due to vowels. One of our longest words is a good example:
megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért
"me-K-szen-CCS-é-K-teleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért"
If you wonder what this long word translates to, it's: "for your undeconsecribiliticisms"
But let's break it down, shall we?
"meg-" means "con-" or "with", also used in our language for mathematical addition, the "applicative" quality of an action, such as in case of "solving", where the act of solving is "applied" on the problem, in a similar fashion as "piss" has a different meanings when joined with "off", "over" or "into"
"szent" means "holy"

"-ít" means "-ate", "to make possess [quality]", creates a verb out of an adjective
"-het" means "-able", expresses potential for acquiring a condition
"-etlen" is a variant of "-telen" ("-less"), for the sake of fluent pronounciation
"-ség" means "-ness", as before
"-es" means "-y", like "sticky", "shady", "stormy" or "-ic", such as "cubic", "pragmatic"
"-ked(ik)" means "imitate", acting the same way in a caricaturistic or playful fashion
"-és" means "-ing", when it makes a noun out of a verb, such as in "the phrasing of a word"
"-eitek" means "yours", in a plural form, but actually it's a compound of "-e", a possessive affix, "-i", a plural affix for the noun and "-tek", an affix for assigning the noun to the plural second person
"-ért" means "for [someone or something]"
