"A híres írók között olvasol."

Translation: You are reading among the famous writers.

Not quite sure I understand the English half of this sentence.

[hatcher]

It's not like reading between the lines. :D Imagine you're in a library, to your left is a famous writer, to your right is another famous writer and you're in the middle. :D

[AtalinaDove]

Ohhhh. Thanks

Why do I need to put the word "the"? It works fine in English without it.

[AnarBatzor]

Because "the" famous writers (that are previously agreed upon lol) are being talked about. it's not about the language mechanics but the context of the dialogue.

[balpers]

Why is the second person (singular, I assume) "olvasol" rather than "olvassz"?

[jzsuzsi]

If the root of the verb ends with s, z or sz, the second person singular ending is -ol -el -öl

Examples: olvasol, dolgozol, eszel, iszol, főzöl, keresel, úszol

Olvassz would be hard to pronounce.

[balpers]

Köszönöm!

Is there a difference between "hires" and "hides"?

[MrtonPolgr]

híres means "famous", "hides" means nothing at all :P
