"What are the French kindergarten teachers flying on?"

Translation: Min repülnek a francia óvónők?

[JeanMencze]

Why does it sound like the speaker is saying "minimum" instead of "min"?

Apparently it's an error with the "coding".

[Liggliluff]

Yes, it thinks "min" is short for "minimum". Regardless, it should read as written, to avoid these issues.

The audio says "minimum" instead of "min"

[SamanthaGasmire]

What does "min" mean? and how do we use "min" vs. "mit" vs. "mi"?

[mizinamo]

min is mi "what" + -n for the case meaning "on..."; thus min "on what".

mit is mi "what" + -t for the accusative case; thus "what" as a direct object (e.g. Mit csinálsz? "What are you doing?" - the "what" is the object of "doing"; you are asking about the thing that is being done).

mi is "what" in the nominative case; you could use it for asking about the subject of a sentence, for example: Mi van a házban? "What is in the house?"

thank you

Why isn't "Min a francia óvónők repülnek?" correct?

[RyagonIV]

The verb has to appear directly after the question word, since the focus of the sentence is on that word. So "Min repülnek a francia óvónők?" and "A francia óvónők min repülnek?" are possible solutions.

------ or , to repeat the obvious, ANY question word must come immediately before the verb ! . . .
