"Hol laksz Japánban?"

Translation: Where are you living in Japan?

[SedatKlc]

why do we always change the case? magyarorzagon lakom, laksz japanban. do we also say 'hol laksz japanon?'

[matanov]

It's only with Magyarország (and some Hungarian cities, including Budapest) you use -on/en, -ra/re and -ról/ről. With most of countries you use -ban/ben, -ba/be and -ból/ből.

DL please do listen to the audio on this one ..is it reasonable to know it's a question???

[jzsuzsi]

Audio is wrong for all questions in the course. TTS cannot do it properly. :(

[Nicola357618]

I do wish DL would respond about the TTS and explain if it's permanent or just while Magyar is in Beta.

[jzsuzsi]

It is permanent. (Or at least stays until Duo can find a better one.)

Nothing to do with beta.

Thanks (sigh). Koszonom

As a native English speaker, I put Whereabouts in Japan do you live? which is what most English speakers would do rather than the suggested translation

[Martin828915]

This is a very clumsy and unnatural way of translating this! If you added a comma before in Japan it would mean something different. Whereabouts in Japan are you living/ do you live is far more English
