"Ezek az amerikai repülőgépek folyóról vagy tengerről szállnak fel?"

Translation: Are these American airplanes taking off from a river or from a sea?

[TakizawaHideaki]

the hint suggests flying not taking off

[RyagonIV]

Well, felszáll means to "fly up", but you don't say that in these circumstances. °-°

"Do these American aeroplanes take off from the river or from the sea" wasn't accepted. I appreciate that "a" doesn't appear before river or sea but neither does "egy." Reverting to English, "the" seems to make more sense if we're referring to what the aeroplanes generally do but is it the case that, without "a" it cannot be the river or the sea and must be a river or a sea?

[Zotya242]

Valaki meg tudná mondani a "felszállás" az miért "taking off"? Nem látom logikailag az "off" értelmét.

Another casual inconsistency. A couple of sentences ago "from" was omitted, in a similar sentence here it's repeated

[Martin828915]

I don't understand why in previous sentences "földről, vízről, tengerről "didnt
