"I see a writer outside."

Translation: Én kint látok egy írót.

[Celinetjeh]

látok egy irót kint

[hatcher]

Yes, that's the natural word order. The given translation implies that I see a writer OUTSIDE, not inside.

[gwe1980]

Yes. It's correct and much more naturally.

[Herr_Filter]

"Látok egy irót kint." should be right too.

[Patricia460976]

They accept en egy irot kint latok.

[timothynh]

Why not látom?

[Nebelkrhe]

Because it's egy író, not az író. The first one is indefinitive, the second definitive and that's how you pick which verb form to use.
