"Tavaly hol voltál tavasszal?"

Translation: Where were you last year in spring?

[szilbog]

last spring - is it wrong?

[-BigWayne19-]

-------- "last spring " sounds like a very fluent translation . . .

[Forzafiori]

why does tavaly come first in this sentence? I thought question words like Hol always started the sentence?

[-BigWayne19-]

------- question words always come just before the verb . . .

I would like to know if the sentence in Present Perfect could be accepted: "Where have you been in spring last year?".

[jsiehler]

I wouldn't usually use "have you been" with a period of time that has definitely ended some time in the past (spring last year). I think "Where have you been" usually implies a period of time right up until now when I am asking the question.

[mizinamo]

I agree.

[Mria795705]

miért nem jó year nélkül , múlt tavasszal, a magyar így mondja.

[gelatinouslunch]

What's wrong with "where were you last year in the spring?"

------- i hope you reported that your version should be accepted ? . . .
