"Where is he shouting?"

Translation: Hol kiabál?

Why can't you say "hol ő kiabal?"

[mizinamo]

Because in general, the verb has to come right after the question word.

ok thanks :)

Hi! Could it also be: Hol van kiabál? Is there a specific reason why "is" isnt translated?

[mizinamo]

The is here is only used as part of the English present continuous tense is shouting, not to indicate a location.

Hungarian doesn't have such a compound (two-word) present continuous tense, so is shouting and shouts end up the same: as simple present kiabál.

Köszönöm!
