"Ki mászik fel erre a fára?"

Translation: Who is climbing up this tree?

[tedjeavons]

up, not up to

[vvsey]

Absolutely, "climbing up to this tree" would be something like "climbing up the cliff, to this tree" - "felmászik ehhez a fához".

[_paranoia_]

Also, I don't think "climbing up to" is correct English in any circumstances.

[mizinamo]

"They are climbing up to the platform"? Sounds reasonable to me - the movement is up and the destination is the platform which is located at the top of something.

[_paranoia_]

I stand corrected. Still, this is quite a bit different situation, where the destination is not related to the thing one is climbing up.

[Krisbaudi]

the meaning in english is not clear. It could be climbing up the tree like in the Hungarian sentence, or climbing up TO (maybe a rock) to reach this tree. (not to climb up the tree). This is a big difference.

I am hugely indebted to vvsey for quick and understandable responses. I don't much like ebbe, abba, ahhoz, ehhez, arra, erre, ezekre, azokra but after the first 2 lessons at grade 0 I can see the pattern and the need for consistency between one part of the sentence and the other. Thank you!

[vvsey]

You are very welcome, and good luck! There are some rough patches ahead, make sure you do not despair.

I despair about twice a week on this course..I've seen somewhere else that it's going to be hard going ahead! I'd love to know how many starters have actually finished !

I think it should be "onto", or better still "into"; is this wrong?

[AnjaliAngel]

My sentence was accepted: Who is climbing up onto this tree?

[Richard604037]

OK, I got the answer right but it all looks crazy. Erre means this way and arra means that way. Ez a fa means this tree. Do you mean to say that we now have to say erre when describing climbing this tree as opposed to simply identifying it?

[vvsey]

There are words in Hungarian, like there are in English, as well, that mean different different things in different situations.
Here, "erre" does NOT mean "this way".

Here, we have:

"Ez a fa" - this tree,

which, when we add the "onto" suffix, becomes:

"Erre a fára" - onto this tree.

Crawls not accepted?

[ACHale1114]

How am i supposed to get the 'a' before fara when she doesnt enunciate it?

[Elloughton]

I can hear it now, but I didn't a few months ago. Don't despair!

[Matt_legrek]

Why not "onto" ? i reported it
