"What is the artist doing?"

Translation: Mit csinál a művésznő?

[fekundulo]

Can anybody explain the difference between "mit" and "mi"?

[Apahegy]

"mi" is just "what." If that becomes the direct object, you need to use accusative case, so it becomes "mit."

• Mi ez?

• Mit csinál?

[AtalinaDove]

It's like the difference between using "der" and "den" in German, except it affects the noun, not the article.

And here we have "művésznő"--a woman artist! I thought we needed to start seeing a little more of this. Köszönöm, Duolingo! You're a good owl.
