"Whose school is it over there?"

Translation: Чья это там школа?

[zhongzhihu]

"чья школа там" got marked as incorrect. Could это be omitted?

[olimo]

It is a less natural construction, but I think it should be accepted as well. Try to report it.

[IBelieveDuoHasSh]

Still not accepted. I reported it.

[Roman139697]

I think that "Чья там школа?" is quite correct.

[ricojes]

could be that the literal translation is "whose school (over) there". i don't know if это functions as grammatically connective tissue as "is it/it is" the same way the english sentence does.

[QurtQurt]

Whose school is over there?

[jtaylor162]

Чья школа это там is rejected, purely for bad syntax. Does it violate some principle, or could it actually be acceptable if one intended to really stress "over there" as opposed to "over here" ???

(It would be nice if DL software could say something more appropriate than "You used the wrong word" for pure syntax problems like this!)

This word order is very confusing for me. When do you put stuff "in the middle" (like in this case, "whose this there school"), and when do you not?

[Mallika586433]

Чья это там школа sounds outright wrong to me. Is it my problem? (

[dexorera]

I agree. English linguists are not at the top of their game. Russian language is too rich for them.

[ZvanJo]

In one of the first chapters we learned вот там to mean 'over there', now it's not marked correct anymore?

[Telik2]

I have the same question: Why вон там and not вот там? What's the difference?

[FranciscoA332796]

Shouldn't “over there" been translated as «вон там»?

[NikolaevGe]

Nobody would say чья это там школа

[koenigstein3]

Can someone please help me to understand why ,,Чья школа вон там?" is wrong?

[gruamaire]

Чья вон та школа?

[ricojes]

isn't that "whose that school over there", if the это is missing?

[Stephen794249]

Вот там doesn't that mean over there?

[LewPiercey]

Delete the "it".
