"a fiú és az autó"

Translation:the boy and the car

DEAR MODERATORS, Car in hungarian not only Auto but also Kocsi

As in English "coach"....

Kocsi is allowed, in fact, but important to remember: "Az autó" but "A kocsi"

If 'a' and 'az' both mean "the" how do i know which one to use where

"A" before a consonant; "az" before a vowel.

How can I pronounce the "A"? I am confused: when I use it as the article "the" should it be pronounced like in english a (car) or o?

Short a (no accent) sounds a bit like British English "short o" as in "hot". It's a sound that doesn't exist in many American accents.

Long á (with accent) is somewhere between English "short a" as in "hat", and "ah" as in "palm, father, car".

Pretty much regardless of which word those two sounds are in.
