"The old car is standing outside."

Translation: A régi autó kint áll.

[shadowmask]

I dunno what dialect they're working with, but in North American English cars don't "stand".

[HeruMornie]

It was strange for me, too, though I am native Hungarian. For me a car parks, not stands. Is this the right term you meant? You'd better report if you find mistakes or oddities on your native language, that could help a lot.

In Western Transdanubia we say that the car "stands" somewhere.

[HeruMornie]

In English? Because it is about the English usage. Of course, in Hungarian the car is mostly standing (áll) and in fewer cases parking (parkol). The latter is mostly used in context where the expression must suggest that the car is not guarded, there is no driver or even passanger with or around it. But this is not set to stone.

We Hungarians say that the car is standing when is not going

[CaptainChris]

You can also use the same expression in German. Das Auto "steht" draußen.

[ap2907]

Now "kocsi" is not accepted for "car"? Are you kidding?

[Djenthallman]

Just report it

[ap2907]

Of course I did.

What is the difference between öreg and régi?

[Maminti.]

Generally we say onto the living beings , "öreg" and onto the objects, "régi". Old man = öreg ember; Old cat = öreg macska; old house = régi ház; old dress = régi ruha

[HelcioCesar]

You could say "The car is sitting outside."

[shadowmask]

Not in my dialect, though I think that might be okay in British English.

[Margeauxpolo]

I might say my car is sitting outside, i don't think standing.

[HelcioCesar]

I agree. Saying "the car is standing outside" sounds weird, unless it's been involved in an accident and ended up on its y-axis.
