"I never see policemen here."

Translation: Soha nem látok itt rendőröket.

[AndresCollinucci]

I'm having trouble understanding the placement of "itt" in the sentence. Is this the only possible position?

[Findil]

No, it's not the only one. Actually you could put it anywhere in this sentence (except between "soha" and "nem").

[turnipfish]

My relatives often use soha without nem - soha látok etc - is that just idiosyncratic/bad grammar?

[Findil]

It's definitely bad grammar in standard Hungarian, and I don't know about any dialects that use it this way.

[jsiehler]

Could they be saying sose látok, perhaps?

[ZsillamKatisza]

"Sosem látok itt rendőröket." Ez miért nem jó?

[Findil]

Még nem adták hozzá a helyes válaszokhoz. Jelentsd, és megteszik. :)

[Viviane882195]

Is there any difference between soha nem and soha sem?
Soha sem látok itt rendőröket.

[Findil]

No difference in meaning, at least I'm not aware of any. One little thing though: "soha nem" is written separately, but "sohasem" is one word.

[MitosisByProxy]

Why is "En soha nem latok rendoroket itt" wrong?

[Zycob]

it should be correct grammatically but sounds better the other way.

[ljikontic]

Would it be better Hungarian''soha sem latok rendoroket''
