"I am not chatting inside, but outside."

Translation: Nem bent beszélgetek, hanem kint.

[The9]

Why is is not "beszélgetek bent" correct?

[Nab918927]

yes why must bent follow nem in this sentence?

[Judit294350]

Because you are negating bent - not inside

[RO_4_PM]

difference between beszél and beszélget?

[linguafiqari]

-get/-gat denotes a repetitive action:

• Beszélni = To speak; Beszélgetni = To converse/chat
• Látni = To see; Látogatni = To visit

Thank you

word "beszelgetek" is misspelled in the hints section as "beselgetnek". I will report

[eddiannie]

Yes. I reported today. 24/09/2020

That is 3rd person plural version ie. "they are chatting" ~ "ők beszélgetnek". Wasn't it there intentionally? it's still there 2021.sept.25th but has no "they" or "pl." hint

[OrlandoLasso42]

Why do you not say "bent van" or "kint van"?

[dualinga15]

Because "van" is a verb itself, the verb "to be" in the third person singular ("is").

What you proposed would literally mean "I am not chatting; inside he is, but outside (he is)". (or something similar, may the native speakers correct me, but anyway, a sentence like that would make no sense)

[TheBlackfly1856]

Okay, in this sentence, we are negating the location, not the action.
So if we were to negate the action (chatting), would a sample sentence be: Én nem beszélgetek bent hanem kiabálok kint?

[deactivated user]

that is insanely dark blue and cannot read your sentence

[eddiannie]

beszélgetnek - the hover hint. Is this wrong? I reported 24/09/2020

[eddiannie]

Is it always necessary to include the personal pronoun?

[Judit294350]

Only if you want to emphasize it.

[alan.asquith]

How do I know when the verb ending is ek or em , ie beszélgetek or beszélgetem

[Judit294350]

Normal first person singular present indefinite is -ek (-ok). -ik verbs are an exception and use -em (-om) - which is also what you use for definite conjugation.
