I bet that 'e' is by far the most frequent letter in the Hungarian language?

Who wrote that it was great when they translate word for word? si why not accept INTO even if it does not sound natural?
In a previous lesson we learned that general statements should always start with the definite article. So shouldn't the sentence be: A Szegény emberek.... ?

I'm just going to link you to the reverse exercise, where vvsey explained it pretty well. :)
Short form: it could, but it doesn't need to.
There are some words in Hungarian that undergo "vowel elision", losing a vowel in the last syllable when certain endings are appended. Cukor is another noun example, and many verbs do this too. Just think of it as a mild irregularity to note when you learn new vocabulary.
These -be -ba sometime translate as either to, at or into; never interchangeably; what is this? Russian roulette?
