"The new railway station is not over there, but here."

Translation: Az új pályaudvar nem ott van, hanem itt.

[Greta476640]

I left out "van" is that wrong?

[Judit294350]

Yes. When you say where something is you need "van".

[SusanRankin1]

Me too. I thought we didn't need it!!

[febrvary]

Why not: "Az új pályaudvar nincs ott, hanem itt"?

[kinga_cs]

Because "nincs" means something like "doesn't exist" and here you want to say that there's a station but it's not there. Just a slight difference in meaning :)

[speeddo]

Nem tudom ki fordította, de a railway station nagyon nem pályaudvar, hanem vasút állomás...

[vvsey]

It can be both.

[Hulk014]

Pedig mindkettőt jelentheti a szótár szerint.

[Sara527332]

I thougt "nem" plus "van" gives "nincs"...

[Judit294350]

But this is not "nem van" (it does not exist) but "nem ott" (not there).

[Sara527332]

Akkor értem. Köszönöm szépen!

[Paula.Ciobanu]

Why can't you say allomas? I am more used to this word.
