"The girl did not meet the English people."

Translation: A lány nem találkozott az angolokkal.

[Margaret731267]

"az angol emberek" was marked wrong. Is this an error or is this incorrect?

[Mrika60]

Találkozik valikivel = to meet with (val/vel ending) somebody

[Imicom]

'A lány nem találkozott az angol emberekkel?' - wrong?? Why

[cesarella1]

angolokkal comes from angolok - val? v drops and k doubles? general rules?

[jzsuzsi]

Yes, v drops and k doubles.

General rule: adding -val -vel after a vowel: easy, maybe the vowel becomes longer (a-> á, e->é). macska, macsával, kutya, kutyával, Kati, Katival

adding -val -vel after a consonant. v assimilates, turns into that consonant.

angolok, angolokkal
angol, angollal
magyar, magyarral
János, Jánossal
gyerek, gyerekkel
szék, székkel

What happens if the last consonant was cs, ny, ly, ty, gy, sz, zs, dz, dzs? We get a doubled consonant!

asszony, asszonnyal
tapasz, tapasszal
egy, eggyel
bagoly, bagollyal

[GerSzej]

is találkozott the past tense?

[96314081311257]

Yes, the verb itself is találkozik.
