"The rich people move out to America."

Translation: A gazdag emberek kiköltöznek Amerikába.

[Mutusen]

Is "a gazdagak" wrong?

[trityu]

Correct form : "gazdagok". But then you leave out the "people" from the sentence, because it already refers to people. "A gazdagok kiköltöznek Amerikába."

[Hulk014]

trityu is right. We use rich "gazdag " as an adjective before a noun. Therefor we don't make it plural.

[Bastette54]

Why is it "Amerikába" rather than "Amerikához"? Is it because when you go to countries or cities, etc, you go "onto" them rather than "toward" them?

[matanov]

Literally, you go into the country. Moreover, it's the triad: in America = Amerikában; to America = Amerikába; from America = Amerikából

[Bastette54]

Oh, right, INTO. I forgot which ending went with which preposition. Ba/be = into, ra/re = onto. I mixed them up. Also, someone explained to me a while ago that "Amerikához" would mean going toward the US but ending up beside it, in Mexico, Canada, or an ocean. :) Forgot that, too.
