"Igen, Péter jön el, nem pedig te."

Translation: Yes, Péter comes over, and not you.

[bnyugat]

Why does 'jön el' mean 'comes over' in this context instead of 'comes away'?

[Shamarth]

Actually it can mean both.

"Péter eljön tőled, majd eljön hozzám." -- "Péter comes away from you, then comes over to me."

I guess that in both cases "el-" means "away from the location the subject was originally at".

[Krisbaudi]

I do not understand the meaning of "come away." Is it: Peter goes away from you? Peter geht weg von dir? or Peter comes from you? Peter kommt von dir?

[Krisbaudi]

What does "come over" mean? That Peter comes here?

[Imorth]

Yes, he comes to my place.
Eljössz hozzám? = Will you come to my place?

[SinisterBruce]

What's wrong with "Yes, Péter is coming over, but not you"?

[Bogracs1]

The 'jon el' in this statement is difficult to make out it is slurred together at magyar speed? Or Do i have an earwax problem?
