"Are you the bosses here?"

Translation: Ti vagytok itt a főnökök?

[dportzline83]

Should "Önök itt a főnökök?" be accepted?

[p8888r]

yes

Why do I need ti? I thought the pronoun wasn't necessary

[Angryfatcat]

This is a very unnatural sentence in English.

"Are you in charge here?" would be very mean on ESL people learning Hungarian :-)

'Ti itt a főnökök'? not accepted

[vvsey]

Because is should be "Ti vagytok itt a főnökök?".
The verb "van" is only omitted in the third person. The formal you, "Ön"/"Önök", uses the third person conjugation, so that's why there is no "vannak" in the sentence.
But "Ti" is a regular second person plural conjugation, it requires the appropriate form of "van": "vagytok".

Thanks

So could I do "Ti itt a főnökök vagytok"?

[vvsey]

Yes, it is one of the valid options. It is a question in the sense of "Are you the bosses (or the employees) here?"

[Judit294350]

But you don't need the Ti? "Itt a főnökök vagytok?" would mean here you are the bosses not the workers?

[AndreaLa6]

Itt a főnökök vagytok? is not accepted :(

[jacobwagma1]

A főnökök itt vagytok incorrect?

[GregWood15]

I tried "Itt ti vagytok a főnökök?". Mr. D didn't approve.
