So how would I say "we don't know that Richard managed to jump out of the way." Would it still be the same as your 2nd sentence? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

The problem was not that. The problem was that first you said "lemegy" present, then "kapaszkodott" past, than "le kezd esni" present again. This is not very good. In speech it is possible - however it is still "low style" -, but in writing this is definitely not OK. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

In Hungarian these things have to be clearly expressed! "A másik – Terry most jól van és áll a hegy tetején" - OK (note: instead of "másik" you can use "másikuk", it is better) "és hall valamit közel hozzá, hogy mozog és egy kicsit fél" közel hozzá means "near to him/her/it", this means this "him" is not Terry, as Terry wont speak about himself as "him" - so this way we think that there is someone else, and the noise is "near to this unknown person" So this part is not OK. You want to say "near to himself", so: "és hall valamit magához közel" or even you can simply omit and say "és hall valamit közel" / "és hall valamit a közelben" and then "és egy kicsit fél" is OK, as it is clear that is relates to Terry Otherwise we cannot be sure who is afraid. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

A karja többi része. "A többi karja" means "his remaining arms". 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

The rule is: 3 SAME consonants not going together. For example SOKK + VAL (KAL) = SOKKAL. But still no hyphen, but the last k of the stem is omitted. There is a hyphen if it is for example a name. Lets suppose your name is not Hribecek, but Hribecekk. In this case: Hribecekk + vel (kel) = Hribecekk-kel Edited by maxval on 13 November 2011 at 5:43pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Such a big difference in meaning expressed in the opposite way in English and Czech. Might be a difficlut one for me to adapt to. I think I had this problem during the 'under the umbrella' story too. 1 person has voted this message useful |
