"Azok idős turisták?"

Translation: Are those old tourists?

[Apahegy]

If régi is for inanimate objects and öreg is for animate objects, how is idős used? Can it be applied to both?

[jzsuzsi]

idős is used as öreg: for animate obejcts (so people and animals)

[Celinetjeh]

are those tourists old?

[hatcher]

That would be "Azok a turisták öregek?"

[rumdaddy]

so is the question like ''are those old [people/ones] tourists" ?

[hatcher]

That would be "Azok az öregek turisták?" The question means "Are those old tourists?" as opposed to "Are those tourists old?"

[MLapid]

are those elderly tourists? shouldn't be wrong

Difference between idős and öreg?

[96314081311257]

Not much. Idős might be considered more polite than öreg, you wouldn't call people öreg in a political speech or a TV ad.

EDIT: idős = elderly

[Bastette54]

I just translated this sentence to "Are those elderly tourists," and it told me I used the wrong word, it should be "Are those old tourists."

Report it, please. :)

[jzsuzsi]

Elderly is accepted nowadays.

Should "Those old tourists?" also be accepted?
