"Hol van a nő reggel?"

Translation: Where is the woman in the morning?

[HatoriDanzo]

I put: "Where is the woman this morning?" Can that not also be correct?

[hatcher]

"this morning" is "ma reggel"

[DillonReyn]

Why would it be "ma" reggel and not "ez"?

Does "ez" signify "this particular morning"?

[hatcher]

Don't overthink it. These are just idiomatic set phrases.

[Elon_the_Hittite]

Likewise in German. Actually, more logical than English because we cannot say 'that morning' to refer to some other morning as it would be so indeterminate without further explanation.

Remélem, hogy az ágyban...;-)

De kinek az ágya?

I read in another comment that there is no future tense in Hungarian, so could this also be "Where will the woman be in the morning?"?

[kalo245927]

two forms of future.. hol fog lenni a nő OR hol lesz a nó...

[jzsuzsi]

Hol lesz a nő? is the better choice of the two. (We usually use "fog" with every other verb, but "lesz" as the future tense of van.)

[MrtonPolgr]

There is indeed a future tense in Hungarian, I wonder how these myths spread. It's like saying English has no future tense since present tenses can refer to future events under certain circumstances.

[TimeaPaszt]

This way it sounds like female morning in Hungarian. Missing "ma" which would make it this morning.

[farnoosh783]

why we use two the s while there is only one "a"?

[bbigblue]

Because translation does not happen word by word, it needs to accomodate language specific rules. So even though hungarian does not need "a" for the morning, english does use it. I am not native english speaker, but I do not think "in morning" would be valid here.

The woman is in my bed . A nő az ágyamban van.
