"Péter keres valamit."

Translation: Péter is looking for something.

It looks like 'valamit' is a combound word (the end part is 'mit'). So if i'm right, what is 'vala'?

[GalvanTivadar]

You are right 'vala' means 'some' although not used by itself.
'Valami' = something, 'valaki' = somebody/someone, 'valahol' = somewhere, 'valamikor' = sometime.
That was really a clever question, have a lingot! ;)

[chirelchirel]

Thanks, it helps to know Finnish. I see a lot of structural similarities like this.

[GergKiss246905]

our language is connected to the Finnish as the sciences say. now i believe it perfectly. thanks for that

[Dortyol]

GalvanTivadar, thanks a lot for a very useful answer.

[Abendbrot]

Get also a lingot from me, for answering the question I had right now. Thanks chirelchirel, for asking this question. :-)

[chirelchirel]

You're welcome :) I like it when someone else has already asked my question, so nice to see it works the other way around too.

[salvadorlopz]

Ah, so I am, Péter. What is the meaning of life?

[GergKiss246905]

The life always mean just what you make it mean ;)

[DaleEnlight]
