"A nő bent van, a férfi kint."

Translation: The woman is inside, the man outside.

[bouvetoya]

Nő is eerily similar to the Chinese word for woman: nü.

[wyqtor]

The Xiongnu, a nomadic tribe that used to live in what is now Mongolia and the main reason for which the Great Wall was built, may have been the ancestors of the Huns. Following the great migrations, the Huns arrived in Pannonia - what is now Hungary!

[Zesul]

I was just going to comment the same!

[Robbadob]

Note that nü3 is Mandarin Chinese. Cantonese would be neoi5, Hakka ńg, Wu nyy and Hokkien lú. China actually has a bunch of different languages, almost too many to count, just like Europe.

There is a second 'is' missing. The alternative with the comma is contrived.

[Sancso]

There should be "is" also after the man in the translation, am I mistaken?

[lajtavary]

it seems to me that it is not necessary. I translated at first try just "the woman is inside, the man outside"
perhaps it could be phrased better like "the woman is inside; the man, outside" since you are omitting a verb, but it is not really necessary IMO.

[HeruMornie]

I'd prefer that way, too, but spoken colloquial misses it sometimes.

[Link-D]

Would "A nő van bent, a férfi kint" be accepted?
As I understand Hungarian, it would put the emphasis on "The woman is inside, the man outside", instead of "The woman is inside, the man outside"?

[HeruMornie]

Megfontolandó lehet a névmások spéci használata miatt elfogadni azt is, hogy "she is inside, he is outside", mivel jó eséllyel olyan feladat után kapja ezt az ember, amikor a névmások nemének hiányával szembesült. Egy alternatív megoldást talán megérne.

[ErikaLoran1]

I have this correct there is a problem with the program

[Aerilin]

Couldn't this just be "She's inside, he's outside?" Hungarian doesn't specify gender via ö pronouns so the speaker seems to intend to specify gender by using nö and férfi

[HeruMornie]

I think you're right but perhaps the difference is more specific and easier to memorize... Dunno.

[JoeClayden]

The woman is inside the man outside... kinky.

[HeruMornie]

Just remember The Flintstones' usual ending scene ;)

[Robert485433]

if there was one less 'curiosity' online, so under-aged users wouldn't Google things leading to things and become unnecessarily distracted. (reported as 'sensitive content' + 'sthg else' for this reason).

[QuintonTay2]

I'm just surprised i got it right...the only thing i got right on this entire session. That must mean I'm learning!!!! XD

[HeruMornie]

Good job, I am happy to read it and keep up! Hungarian is so different, that every little success is great!

[JohnBehun]

The word " bent" is not listed to choose.
