"Reggel ritkán van hó."

Translation: There is rarely snow in the morning.

[millermj]

Why does van come before hó?

[MonteTheReal]

van hó = there is snow

[TseDanylo]

If I said Reggel hó van, would I stressing that there's snow in morning?

[DunWaddi]

"In the morning it rarely snows" is not accepted?

[mizinamo]

"it snows" indicates that snow is falling, but van hó just means that there is snow, not that it's falling then. It could be left over from snowfall the previous evening.

[nathan_korda]

Is it just common sense that tells you the sentence is "There is rarely snow in the morning." rather than "There is rarely morning in snow."? Or is there some underlying grammar sorting out the relationship of snow to is?

[mizinamo]

reggel can be a noun "morning" or an adverb "in the morning/at morningtime/when it is morning"

But hó is just a noun "snow", not also an adverb "in the snowtime/when it is snow" :)

este is similar to reggel: both "evening" and "in the evening".

[esjalistas]

How about "In the morning there's rarely any snow."?

[Shamarth]

Sounds good to me, I think it's worth a report.

[Liggliluff]

To be honest, after a cold night, there's a higher probability for snow in the morning than in the evening.

[pingo.il]

Instead of "there is rarely snow in the morning", can't it translate into "it rarely snows in the morning"? Sounds more natural in English.

[scarcerer]

Like mizinamo said above, those are two different things in English as well. The first means "there is snow (even though it hasn't snowed in a week)", the second "it snows (finally, I was afraid we wouldn't have a white Christmas).

It was asked to write what I hear not to translate what the audio said in hungarian. I did it perfectly...
