These suffixes are morphemes you can (with some simple rules) just add to words to achieve the corresponding change in meaning. In CS terms, they're functions that take the input word and make a new one. Each one of the above, used somewhere else:
winter -> to spend the winter: tél + l -> telel
to read -> to make them read: olvas + tat -> olvastat
to read -> the reading: olvas + ás -> olvasás
house -> his houses: ház + ai -> házai
house -> because of, affecting the house: ház + ért -> házért
