Translation: There are many tall houses around this square.

There are tips? Where?

[Mike943391]

I have the same question? I'm using the App. Where do i find the tips?

[mizinamo]

Not in the app.

They're only available on the website -- and they might only be displayed if the website thinks your screen is big enough (on a smartphone, the website may appear like the app, complete with lack of lesson notes).

Your best bet is probably to read the lesson notes on a computer before starting a new lesson.

What is "E körül" for? I see this for the first time, and to me it totally makes sense that the sentence would work without that.

[jsiehler]

a tér - the square

a tér körül - around the square

ez a tér - this square

e körül a tér körül - around this square

-

When you apply a postposition to a noun with a demonstrative this/that/these/those (ez/az/ezek/azok) before it, the demonstrative also has to receive the postposition.

Additionally, the adjectives ez and az lose their 'z' when they are followed by a consonant like this.

Hungarian causes my brain to smoke.

[MegaOptimus]

Yes, I'm stupid not to read the tips before doing the lesson :D
Thanks for explaining though, it's totally not normal, and needs some additional explanations.

[SandraBern295980]

And why do not using just: "Ez a tér körül" whch could be translated az "around this square"... instead of E and 2 times the same word körül? Would it be wrong? Thank you for answering my doubt.

[cymbidy]

Since "áll" often translates simply as "is," could my answer not be correct: "Many tall houses are around this square"?

[KarenFerri3]

Haz is singular, but is translated in the plural. Is this wrong?

[joemagyarul]

It's because of the sok modifier, when the amount is otherwise specified you don't use the plural e.g. sok ház, két ház, néhány ház for many houses, two houses, some houses.

[Nab918927]

Could vannak be used instead of áll?

[Angela999999999]

Why there is no tips for grammar in my Duolingo version. Hungarian without grammar explanation is very difficult! Where can I find tips? Thanks in advance!

------ see mizinamo's post up above near the top. if you're using an app to work on duo, you won't see the tips. you can only see them if you're using a computer . . .

E tér körül sok magas ház áll not accepted, but the sentence is better

[-BigWayne19-]

--------- high ? tall ? tomatos ? tomahtos ?

[Judit294350]

"High houses" just sounds wrong :-) Buildings are tall - not high.

[Rosa51214]

How about:
Many tall houses are around this square.
Why is "there are" in this translation?

[SandraBern295980]

For me, it sounds like an old way of the magyar language, am I write? Why don't you say> Ez a tér körül sok magas ház áll (vagy van). And why my translation to English "Many tall houses stand around this square?", Tks for your att. Sandra
