"Where were you last year in spring?"

Translation: Tavaly hol voltál tavasszal?

[mizinamo]

Are tavaly and tavasszal related?

[Findil]

Their etymology isn't clear, but they aren't related.

[vvsey]

I tried to look these up. I found this much: "tavaly" comes from "távol" (far away), and "tavasz" is of Finno-Ugric origin. It would be nice to know more. But they are not related, that much is clear.

[Csomotor]

Tavaly tavasszal hol voltal and Tavaly hol voltal tavasszal is the same

[Kas334864]

Is the instrumental case used for time periods other than seasons?

[GregWood15]

Only Spring and Autumn. You are on Summer and Winter.

[orG8iU]

Can somebody tell me the difference between TAVASZ and TAVASSZAL?

[-BigWayne19-]

------ tavasszal = tavasz + val .

tavasz = spring and tavasszal = in the spring

Big 15 mar 21 wearing my koka'rda ! kokarddal = with koka'rda . . .

[febrvary]

Is "Hol voltál múlt tavasszal" wrong?

[BiankaBocs1]

Yes, because "múlt" means "past", the last year is more specific (it can be also "múlt évben). :)

[RayRay71625]

Hol voltál mult tavasz? Should be accepted, but isn't.

[MrtonPolgr]

That's not grammatical.
