"A mély víznél nincsenek gyerekek."

Translation: There are no children by the deep water.

[Bilegdembe]

Reading this sentence makes me feel relieved somehow XD

[jsiehler]

A mély víznél nincsenek, mert most éppen a forgalmas utcán játszanak.

I think "there are not any" would also qualify?

[ion1122]

Yes, and also the similar 'there aren't any'. Nevertheless, 'there are no' is the most elegant choice, in my opinion.

[KlaraBerna1]

yes, though I am not sure if only the most elegant solution should be accepted in the source language :D

[cosmo-pedant]

As to the English translation, I agree with ion1122.

[HeatherG7]

As a native English speaker, I have to admit that the English translation offered here seems a little unnatural. I wouldn't use 'AT the deep water' on its own. The use of 'at' leaves me wanting more detail: 'at the deep water what?'

[EliotWinokur]

The English "by" is awkward sounding in English. In flows much better.

[jsiehler]

But the Hungarian sentence doesn't necessarily mean they're in the water.

[ion1122]

jsiehler is correct. You cannot assume they are 'in' the water.

[Judit294350]

I'd say "near" as a better translation - even if it isn't exactly what the Hungarian says. But "by" is better than "at".

[mahovlich]

In American English the natural translation of this would be "There aren't any children by the deep water." "There aren't any" should be accepted as a translation of nincsenek.
