"János elfut az ágytól; ott van egy bogár."

Translation: János runs away from the bed; there is a bug there.

[Arcaeca]

I've been looking around for some way to say "man up" or "get a spine", but couldn't find anything. :/ But whatever the phrase is, Janos needs to do that!

Spiders, fine. But Janos is surely stronger than a bug.

Well, my name is János (John) in real life and I don't care. I will go further by saying that it wasn't just a bug or a beetle, as bogár suggests......
It was a COOTIE, not a bed bug, or a fly, it was a COOTIE - and I killed it! LOL
And, in Adjectives, we learned that János nem hülye

Neha a neveket leforditjak, neha nem. Nincs konzisztencia!

[jsiehler]

The names should never be translated, in my opinion.

[ezzy_z]

I agree. Either way, it is important to establish consistency.

Anything wrong with the English answer "János runs away from the bed; a bug is there"?

[jsiehler]

Nothing wrong - it's fine.

[dvanclev]

The English translation sounds wrong to me. "There is a bug" doesn't convey the information about the bug's location from ott, does it? (We'd probably say "there's a bug there" or maybe "a bug is there"?)

There's a bug in the bed and his name is Gregor Samsa

Why is “beetle” not accepted here?
