"The old doctor sits on the balcony and reads." - "Az idős orvos az erkélyre ül és olvas."
Is that really correct?
I interpret the english sentence as "to sit somewhere", so the hungarian should contain "az erkélyen".
The words "ül az erkélyre" mean "to sit down on the balcony", or is intended to mean it. I would prefer "leül az erkélyre".
I think you are correct, it should be "az erkélyen".
"Erkélyre" sounds a bit unusual. You could say "kiül az erkélyre", that is to go out to the balcony and sit there.
Yeah, to have the ending "-re" it should have a prefix denoting movement before, so either way, one part of this translation is wrong.
Igen. Az idős orvos az erkélyen ül és olvas. Ez a helyes magyar fordítás. Mi így használjuk.
