"You are resting beside the river."

Translation: A folyó mellett pihensz.

[CalebF1]

Pihenz a folyó mellett .. should also be correct?

[Stuttgart3]

Yes, it's correct, too.

[tothcila]

Good solution is: "Pihensz a folyó mellett."

[countvlad]

what about: te pihensz mellet a folyó

[rkvance5]

Words like mellett (alatt, felett, között, etc.) are called postpositions, and are always placed after the noun they qualify. In this case, it's "next to the RIVER", so mellett must come after folyó.

[countvlad]

kösönöm szépen. Are there also Hungarian "prepositions" or are they all "Postpositions"?

[rkvance5]

As far as I'm aware, there are only postpositions. Perhaps a more advanced scholar will chime in if I'm incorrect ;)

[tothcila]

Yes, there are lots of prepositions as well.
F.I: bemegy - goes in
kimegy - goes out
lemegy - goes down
felmegy - goes up
elmegy - leaves
and so one.

[countvlad]

thanks for the information! I'm looking forward to that!!!!

[simonlcparry]

what about: "te pihensz a folyo mellett"??

[tothcila]

It is good, but the "Pihensz a folyó mellett" is much better because we do not say "te" because the form of the verb "pihensz" says "te pihensz".
