Why is 'I sit there, where you sit' not a good translation?

Well, here ott doesn't really mean there because there is a connection between ott+ahol and it is changing this meaning (like the example sentence) and actually ott becomes unimportant but just a bit.

All in all you don't have to translate ott to English. :)

Do you have it? :)

    I think "I sit where you do" or "I'm sitting where you do" should also be acceptable...

    "I sit where you sit" was accepted.

        I am sitting there, where are you sitting? Seems ok. What's the different Hungarian for that please?
