"Egy szép város mellett haladunk."

Translation: We pass by a beautiful city.

[magnetholik]

Wouldn't a better translation be "We are going along a beautiful city." or "We are progressing/proceeding next to a beautiful city" ? With this English translation people will think it means we are relocating our home next to a beautiful city, which is not what this sentence means at all, unless I am mistaken.

[hatcher]

You are correct.

[nicksana]

why not passing by ....?

[jzsuzsi]

Today I changed the main translation to : We [pass by/are passing by] a beautiful city. (Earlier it was We are moving by a beautiful city. )

[RyagonIV]

This is a very good translation, you should report it. :)

[nicksana]

Yes I guess so. I do not know how to report it, just hope DL will correct it. Thanks anyway.

[RyagonIV]

When you learn or practice a sentence, there is a "Report a problem" button on the bottom left after you type in your answer. You can then suggest to "Accept my answer" which is the easiest way for the course authors to add your suggestion. On the mobile apps you can do the same via the flag symbol after answering a question.

[nicksana]

OK

[Alkimeer]

És ez a gyönyörű város lenne Budapest.

[tedjeavons]

why not travelling/driving???

[RyagonIV]

Halad has the meaning of 'to move on, to progress'. I agree that 'travelling' or 'driving' are a subcategory of that, but those words can be much more adequately translated as utazik and vezet, respectively.

[GGABI2]

Why not along a nice city?

[piguy3]

Motion "along" something tends to imply a linear aspect of that something (road, river, etc). So it doesn't work well for "city."

[opakai]

"We are moving near a beautiful city" could also be accepted. What's your opinion? Thanks. Kellemes Karácsonyt!

[RyagonIV]

My opinion is that közel is a more direct translation of 'near'.

[opakai]

Yes, you are right RyagonIV. Unfortunately we cannot say "város közel haladunk", or at least it doesn't sound good to my ears. The original sentence is "...város mellett haladunk". This "mellett" could also mean "near/by/next to/in the proximity of" as far as I know. Köszönöm.

[cosmo-pedant]

My opinion is that "moving along near" or "going on" or "moving on through" may be the main possible translations of the verb in this context. I do need a good dictionary.

[ElissaSilb]

Again....did the whole thing right but still said i was wrong....

[Shamarth]

What was your answer?

[FarkasJozs5]

"moving /passing along..." possible?

[Dariofez]

Haladunk is translated as "(we) move" but that word is not in the options, so I wouldn't imagine that "pass" was the right choice. You could add it just like "move / pass".
