"A lawyer is looking for a director."

Translation: Egy rendezőt keres egy ügyvéd.

[AlexMunkachy]

what is wrong with "egy ügyvéd rendezőt keres" ? I thought it's okay to drop egy in sentences like that

[zsakosfrodo]

Yes, it is correct, it should be accepted, just missing from the directory. Report it.

[DenisPitcher]

I'm a little bit confused here. The "t" ending goes on the one being looked for rather than the one doing the looking?

[Nitram.]

Yes, that's the way Hungarian indicates accusative.

[Charlotte708893]

Can I ask why the director comes first in this one? In other examples it seemed to set up that the lawyer would come first, as the person doing the looking?

[jzsuzsi]

The perks of (relatively) free word order. We can choose which one comes first.

A lány lát egy fiút. The girl sees a boy. (this is probably the word order you expect)

Egy fiút lát a lány. The girl sees a boy. Same meaning, thanks to the -t in fiút (accusative ending) we know who is seen.

Ok, actually, "Egy fiút lát a lány." is not a neutral word order, it emphasises the boy. The girl sees A BOY and not something/someone else.

Egy ugyvéd keres a rendezot

Why is this order not correct?

[Daniel130649]

I just looked at it again.. I think the order is probably ok, but the "a" determinant was wrong.

Az ugyved igazgatot keres - was my answer and it was not accepted. Why not?

[66.robi]

director - rendező,IGAZGATÓ!!!

[Boris737071]

Why is the director looking for a judge? As the right answer? So often i don't know how i begin it to translate

[EsNkzo]

Egy ügyvéd keres egy rendezőt. Why was this not accepted?

[RayRay71625]

Egy igazgatót keres egy ügyvéd. Should be marked correct, but it wasn't. Why not?
