Oops, I meant to say 'good luck', so 'sok szerencsét'? He's wishing him good luck because Richard is about to embark on a dangerous search for help. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Yes, "sok szerencsét" is OK, it is completely different from "szerencsére". Edited by maxval on 30 October 2011 at 4:35pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

In this form is OK. You can omit subjects and objects from a sentence, if from previous sentences it is clear what is omitted. If it is not clear, then you have to specify it/them. Something FYI: "Sam meg akarta találni az állatokat, amik csinálják a hangokat." an alternate version of this would be: "Sam meg akarta találni az állatokat, amelyek csinálják a hangokat." Even "akik" is acceptable. 30-40 years ago the two versions were not compatible. Now native speakers dont make usually distinction. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

And an English question from me:
How native English speakers say: "more narrow" or "narrower"? Maybe the first is American, and the second is British??? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I noticed this question in your corrections but forgot to reply to it, sorry. I would say "narrower" and I doubt a British person would ever say "more narrow" (although this type of 'mistake' is quite common from native speakers), as you said. A third option that a British (at least in South East England!) person would say, would be "more narrower"! It's a grammatical mistake obviously but quite common in colloquial speech. I'm not sure if Americans say "more narrow" but I can imagine that maybe they do. Chung, if you're reading this, what do Americans say? 1 person has voted this message useful |
