"Az autó kint van."

Translation: The car is outside.

[HatoriDanzo]

Why is this not 'That car is outside'?

[Findil]

That would be: "Az az autó kint van."

Seriously? That's cool!

The car is out there? Would that be correct?

[szundi00]

It should be accepted, I reported it.

Why is it not "Az autó van kint"?

[Lomochibi]

Technically it is an acceptable translation of the given English sentence, but only in the meaning of 'It is the car, that's outside (and not the bicycle).

[Sdiabmhon]

My answer was "The car is outdoors." "Outdoors" is given as one of the translations of "kint", so it should have been accepted.

[JosePabloC492396]

"Van" is literally "is"?

[claire_resurgent]

"It is". I'm not 100% sure of the rule, but "van" doesn't seem to be used to join two nouns.

[Rado348934]

is "kint" an accusative form of "kin"?

[koviki2]

"kint" means "outside", "kin" means "on who?"

[MrtonPolgr]

if it was about kín (=anguish), you would be right. As it was mentioned, kin and kint are unrelated and kin, as an already declined word (ki+n), couldn't take an extra accusative.

[monteirorogerio]

Is "Az autó ott van kint." ok? Is it the same?

[bbigblue]

it is similar and it is fine. Due to the extra "ott" it basically emphasizes the location, so in a discussion i would use it as "hey, what are you talking about ? it is out there, can't you see it ?"
