"A megálló új."

Translation: The stop is new.

[Celinetjeh]

this doesnt has to be a BUS stop, could be tram stop as well, right?

[woolfool]

Tram stop is also accepted now.

[gwe1980]

Yes. Exactly.

[GrowingViolet]

I wasn't thinking and wrote the literal "The new bus stop," which isn't a sentence in English but could be used as a complete clause, such as in "The new bus stop opens tomorrow." Could "A megálló új" be used similarly in Hungarian? If not, how would one form a comparable clause? My mistake has made me curious...

[irarussian]

I believe "the new bus stop" would be "az új megálló". The word order is important here.

[tomda157]

"A megálló új" cannot be used like this. The correct form would be this:
"The new bus stop opens tomorrow" = "Az új buszmegálló holnap nyit."

[p8c]

growingviolet, i made the same mistake and have the same question!

[Ati1996]

or you can say "buszmegálló" too :D

[jlsr2]

The speaker in the recording seems to put emphasis on the "álló" rather than the "meg". I was pronouncing it with an accent on the "meg". Is the recorded pronunciation correct? I was under the impression that most Hungarian words accented the first syllable.

[Jutas]

the pronunciation is fine,the stress can change of course,depends on your intentions,context.

[MrtonPolgr]

I don't feel "álló" would be stressed, honestly.

[Ishana92]

so this can't be the new bus stop?

[MrtonPolgr]

No it can't

[Sean_Roy]

I put, "The subway station is new." Is that correct or no?

[gwe1980]

The "subway station" is rather "metró megálló" or "metró állomás".

[BKmind]

Is train stop only palyaudvar, or could it be allomas as well

[AniB82]

What about? this bus stop is new?

[WilliamsBlair]

Unfortunately, the word "this" is not present in the Hungarian sentence so it would not be correct to translate it like that

[The9]

Why is there no verb?

[MrtonPolgr]

Umm, how did you make it till here without encountering this?
So here in this sentence, új (=new) describes the subject, megálló (stop or station). There is no action happening. In English, in these sentences, you use the verb "to be" to link the subject to the predicative noun/adjective. In Hungarian, this is similar BUT whenever it would be van or vannak, you just leave it off.

[croyle16669]

"Tram stop" was rejected

[AmyAbramcz]

I had "the new stop" would this be an alternative answer or a different sentence completely?

[MartinJamison]

The word bus is not in the sentence.
