"a car"

Translation: egy autó

[tedjeavons]

kocsi too slangy??

[bdori]

no, it should be accepted, too

[zidemen]

I am a native Hungarian speaker, kocsi is the more common word. I vaguely recall reading that the English coach comes from the Hungarian kocsi.

I'm totally new here. "kocsi" for auto? Also I wrote "az auto". Why is this incorrect? Thanks for any help.

the article is wrong. a car=egy autó or egy kocsi, if you wish (although for me, kocsi does feel informal or almost slangish)
