"The bus is in the back in the evening."

Translation: Este hátul van a busz.

[MatthewScowen]

This is what i put - "A busz hátul van az este" I'm totally confused about The verb to be and word order :( please help!

I think your sentence is not incorrect but it doesn't sound very natural. Time adverbs tend to come to the beginning of the sentence. "Este a busz hátul van." would be also good.

[MatthewScowen]

Thank you very much, thats interesting about time adverbs. I'll remember that next time :)

You need "van" when you're talking about location, so that part is good. But when you're referring to a time like "in the evening", you just say "este" or in the case of "in the morning", "reggel". So "Este hátul van a busz" and "A busz este hátul van" (second one not accepted currently, but correct) are both correct.

A busz hátul van az este.-incorrect.
A busz hátul van este.-correct.
Este hátul van a busz.-correct.
A busz este hátul van.-correct.
Hátul van a busz este.-correct.

Ez engem kiakaszt :)

Why is "este" able to be used to mean "in the evening" but "dél" has to become "délben" to be used to mean "at noon"?

This one might be wrong

This word order is killing me one word at a time!

[JFORD574]

I took an 8 credit accelerated Hungarian course and a 1 credit pronunciation course when I spent a few months in Szeged and this word order still confuses the living crap out of me.
My first thought was:
Este a busz hátul van.
I know it is wrong, but I don't know why. Could anyone explain it to me? I am pretty lost. :P

Why is this order "Este a busz van hátul" wrong?
