it does not make sense to me . is not that a question sentence? if not how can it be changed to the question form?
köszönöm

The simplest way is just to put a question mark at the end. :)
The Hungarian statements and yes/no questions don't inherently have different word orders, just a different intonation while speaking.

[JanLnnika]

Egy óra van a fekete épületen. What would it mean?

[RyagonIV]

It would be a good translation for this sentence, too, if that's what you're asking.

"There is a clock on the black building, that's what it is."

[JanLnnika]

Egy óra van a fekete épületen. What would it mean?

[Patricia460976]

Can I use "ott van egy fekete óra az épületen?"

[RyagonIV]

It is (almost) a valid translation, but requires a bit a weirder context. You can see that when you form the respective question by replacing the word in front of the verb with a fitting question word:

• Hol van egy fekete óra az épületen? - Where is a black clock on the building?

Instead of noticing that the building has a clock on it, you're trying to say in which spot a clock-on-the-building is.

One more thing: in the original sentence, the building is black, not the clock. :)

Is it necessary to have the "egy" in this sentence? Would "A fekete épületen van óra" be correct? (and, if not, why not?)
