"Ott játszunk, ahol ti játszotok."

Translation: We play where you play.

[mosi868565]

Ott... ahol= where

[Harga]

Right. It depends on the sentence.

[Nab918927]

why is "ti" required in this sentence?

[Makos24]

Not required. "Ott játszunk, ahol játszotok." should be correct.

[MrtonPolgr]

I'd say "ti" is more required than "játszotok" here. The same action being involved is almost implied, no need to put emphasis on that - or, better said, we have all reason to remove that emphasis and focus on the "who" part.

[Apahegy]

Is it wrong to say "We play there, where you play?"

[hatcher]

In English? I think so.

[Harold77079]

Not in English - it is not common, but no problem

[Apahegy]

I mean, is that a bad way to translate it?

[Raphi_K]

I wrote: "We play there where you are playing"

I think "We are playing where you are playing" would be the best translation

[holeemolee]

What's with the "ott"? Transl. "We play where you play." There's no, "there" there.

[Judit294350]

In Hungarian you need the "ott" for the "ahol". The pairing is required in Hungarian grammar.

[gkelt1]

Why not "... ahol jatszol"? And, doesn't the "...tok" ending in Duo example signify "I", not "you"?

[Judit294350]

-tok is second person plural. First person singular doesn't have the "t" ie just -ok.

[Patricia460976]

Is "itt" ever used in place of "ott?"

[MrtonPolgr]

In sentences like this, not really.

[zlyvkus]

"We are playing there where you are" not accepted

[JeanMencze]

Why is there an "o" before the "tok" ending?

[Judit294350]

Because it is too hard to pronounce three consonants - tszt

[JeanMencze]

So is there a rule involved there?

[Judit294350]

Yes - if there are two different consonants add a linking vowel. (And in some cases with a double consonants) Also if the verb ends with -ít.

[JeanMencze]

Thank you!

[Emile-_-]

Triple consonants are very rare in Hungarian, you always have to add lying vowels when you can (same for nouns, e.g. with the thing=a cuccal/cuccaval while cucccal would be the normal way to say it)

[yesiamdead]

It's weird, I somehow always thought it is 'játszatok', not 'játszotok'. Is it another version or not?

[Judit294350]

Present indefinite 2P is always -o as a linking (back) vowel. Other moods and tenses can use -á but only past uses -a.
