"We are having lunch at this table, and you at that one."

Translation: Mi ennél az asztalnál ebédelünk, ti meg annál.

[Andreas305]

"Mi ennél az asztalnál ebédelünk, ti pedig annál"

Is this really wrong?

[Shamarth]

No, it's absolutely correct. :) Report it next time.

[mizinamo]

Thanks! Reported.

(It gave me the options:

• Mi ennél az asztalnál ebédelünk, ti pedig annál ebédeltek.
• Mi ennél az asztalnál ebédelünk, ti meg annál.

and said that I had missed out a word from the first one.)

I have the same problem. 'Pedig' seems to be wrong, but I don't know why. I thought it was a synonym of 'meg'.

[Krisbaudi]

Ebedelünk ennél az aztalnál, és te annál
Is that wrong?

[Evolita]

No, it would be alright but in this sentence we want emphasize who is committing the action, I'm afraid.

[Krisbaudi]

Thank you. This special lesson is the first one out of a few languages, which I could not conquer as yet. I cannot really understand it.

[Evolita]

The course is just not the best. Hungarian is a very difficult language even according to experts therefore only people with special skills can create a well functioning Hungarian language course for all needs. Try again a few days/weeks later. I'd be happy to help.

[Krisbaudi]

Thank you :-)

[SusanRankin1]

Hungarian is very difficult!!! But it is very fun to learn. Each time I get one right I am ecstatic!

[PetrVarga]

I really cannot say ennel az asztalnal ebedelunk ti meg annal? The 'mi' at the beginning is 'suddenly' mandatory?

[mizinamo]

I think so, because you are specifically contrasting the pronouns -- we sit here and you sit there.

[SusanRankin1]

Just starting this one.... Why isn't it azzal or aznal (or is it annal) asztalnal?

[Andreas305]

ahhoz = az + hoz (to that)

annál = az + nál (by that)

attól = az + tól (from that)

avval = azzal = az + val (with that)

[Martin_Jani]

"Ebedelunk ennel az asztanal, ti meg annal" why wrong?

[TeresaMari890533]

Why does it have to be 'meg'? Why is 'pedig' wrong?
