"A fiú nem a városban lakik, hanem a folyó mellett egy kicsi házban."

Translation: The boy does not live in the city, but in a little house beside the river.

This is the kind of sentence I can't believe I can already read after only a couple of weeks. Wow.

"egy kicsi házban" ?

Is that correct hungarian? Shouldn't it be "egy kis házban"?

[Findil]

It's correct, just more emphatic.

[Andreas305]

Köszönöm szépen :-)

I really hope I'll never need to a) translate this into Hungarian and b) try to do this as a listening exercise.

[Sanctacaris_unc.]

IMHO the translation "The boy lives not in the city but in a small house next to the river" should also be acceptable.

Why so loooong sentences? Minek ilyen hosszú mondatokat beletenni? I would say: "A fiú a városban lakik." = "The boy lives in the city." or: "a városban vagyok." = "I am in the city". MAKE IT MORE SIMPLE. PLEASE :-)

This is a problem, which existst, since the course went online somehwere in July 2016. A lot of users allready complained about that. Nothing happened. And if you go further in the course, you will face a lot of monster sentences.

The harder are the lessons, the easier is the life.

[tomklemm]

"kicsi ház" could be much more simple as "kis ház". It is the same!

[Zesul]

This was my first really long Hungarian sentence in the course. Yippie!

[DV-Mac]

What is the difference of the second phrase placement after hanem 1) accepted “a folyó mellet egy kicsi házban” vs. 2) “egy kicsi házban a fólyo mellet,” and why is the first preferred?
