Sorry for the stupid sentences like this. But anyway, just wait ten more years, and indeed cars will be flying everywhere. :)
Don't apologise! Silly sentences like this are much more entertaining for both those who write them and those who read them. I've always found that to be part of the charm of Duolingo courses. :D
I agree. we must be aware of how difficult it must be for the question-setters to compose logical sentences using such a necessarily limited vocabulary (Hungarian still at basic level).
Perhaps more fun, but it can be quite confusing if an answer doesn't seem to make much sense, yet is the right answer.
Well, that's the point in my opinion... I like these questions because it forces me to be confident about what I am typing from a purely grammatical standpoint. Plus you never know, this sentence might turn out useful in the future! ;)
like the Enteschild that has has a proper tea party in Deutschland, and the Waiters love story из России. Y todos los frases divertidas en español. I can't wait to break 1000xp in Hungarian, and eventually reach my favorite languages' goal of 5000xp.

There was a car that pulled a trailer with wings and a tail section. You stopped the car, attached the wings and tail, and you had a flying car. I think they were made in the 50s, possibly the 60s.
The Red Army had a flying tank.
I think it's the DeLorean of the Movie "Back to the future" part III
it is ok that it is entertaining but when i am trying to translate the sentence that a car flies above the city then i assume i must be wrong........
For me I like these questions because it forces me to be confident about what I am typing from a purely grammatical standpoint. That's one way to see it too!

How do you say, "The Jetsons" in Hungarian?http://www.artinsights.com/product/the-jetsons-sunday-drive/

The Jetsons; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; Jules Verne; Hungarian linguists at Duolingo - and before we know it, this sentence won't just be a whimsical, eccentric statement to test our burgeoning langauge skills, but a real mode of transport. http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericmack/2015/03/16/finally-a-flying-car-could-go-on-sale-as-soon-as-2017/#60af8953219e. Sziasztok!
Forces the learner to actually translate, rather than "game" the translation. XPs from learning
hahaha this is a funny one... but anyway, perhaps this is from a movie. LOL soon cars will not just fly but swim too. :P
I am simply in love with this kind of sentences. I could bet that it is the best way of learning, both the grammar and the vocabulary, too.
Give it another 10 years and this will be commonplace. Dubai is now expermenting with flying taxis.
Why do i need "the" in the begining of the sentence(when translating). In a lot of examples i think its not that mandatory to have it, or not at least to count as a mistake.
When I was about to get surprised I remembered that an ant used to drink milk and eat an elephant in the French course haha
Is there anythung in fölött that implies flight in other situations or is this just common sense? Because i put 'the new car is above the city ' and was marked wrong...
repülni - to fly, the hungarian sentence contains the word "repül" "the new car is above the city" would be "az új autó a város fölött van"
