    Why could the sentence not be: What is the mailman doing?

      I think it's also correct. Report it.

        Can "postás" ever refer to a woman without the "nő" added? If so, shouldn't the more gender-neutral "postal carrier" or "mail carrier" be accepted as well?

          normally we use "postás" for women also,but i think nobody will call the police if you call her "postásnő" :)

            " Mit csinálsz " is not correct too ?

              In case Tamas51's answer wasn't clear, csinálsz is 2nd person and means "you do" and csinál is 3rd person and means "(he/she/it) does".

                Yes, precisely so.

                  It isn't correct. Mit csinálsz = I/2 , Mit csinál = I/3

                  My translation "what is the post office worker doing" was not accepted. Any thoughts?
