"Éva often paints trees."

Translation: Gyakran fákat fest Éva.

Do the adverbs always go at the front of the sentence? I always seem to misplace those

[Ati1996]

No, you can say 'Éva gyakran fest fákat' as well :D

[PierrePoutine]

Why is "Gyakran fest Éva fákat" wrong?

[Tielbert]

Is there a rule, why fákAt, not fákOt?

[GregWood15]

According to my Hungarian grammar book, the regular accusative endings are -ot, -et, -öt, and -t. Quoting: "The unstable vowel (o, e, ö) also (there were two paragraphs before this discussing the matter) always appears if the stem is a lowering stem (here it references another paragraph), in which case the unstable vowel is irregularly -a or - e.". It then goes on to list falat, fület, vizet, tehenet, várat, and könnyet. Hope this helps :)

How about Éva fákat szokott festeni? Is this also an option?

[MonteTheReal]

Yes... and no. Now is not a correct solution. BUT Éva szokott fákat festeni. is maybe good as well, but it means: Éva paints trees. Your sentense (Éva fákat szokott festeni.) means that Éva paints ONLY trees.

[VojaJ.]

Yeah, I thought so. I meant the grammar structure with "szokott" per sé. I am still struggling with the word order in Hungarian! :-D Thank you!

[KatyLovesFrench]

Yes! Word order is my problem too!

[Maria681230]

Why not use "töbször" instead of gyakran to mean ' often'

[MercedesEm13]

Eva gyakran fakat fest.Why is this wrong?

[mosi868565]

More Hungarian this way: Éva gyakran fest fákat.

[DamonWater1]

What about
"Éva gyakran fákat fest" ?

[GregWood15]

"Fákat gyakran fest Éva."? I thought I'd put the adverb with the verb. Also influenced by a number of examples in this set that ended with "lát Péter".
