As well as, say, dogs? If that was the intention, it would be fine. I think the translation given reflects the more likely meaning of the English.
When is it ugrik and when BEugrik? So far when you said INTO it was BE ugrik ebbe a folyóbe...

I've been told that when the verb is after what is being entered, the "be" preverb is redundant. So "beugrik ebbe a folyóba is" or "ebbe a folyóba is ugrik".
I think the English sentence allows many interpretations. I wrote: "Ebbe a folyóba sok ember is ugrik: férfiak, nők, gyerekek." because I really thought that the focus was on the people, not on the river...

The "is" is not about focus but about what the "too" refers to in English. If it is people as well as dogs jumping into this river, then "is" follows "ember". If people are jumping into this river as well as that one, then the "is" follows "ebbe a folyóba".
Lots of comments about the same thing but not a single answer. This time I put beugrik. It wasn't accepted but why not?
I got it right but wanted to put beugrik. I see that this is troubling others as well. We already have ebbe and folyoba, is it the case that these words wrap up the idea of jumping in so that to put beugrik is quite simply overdoing it?

I really am starting to believe that whoever is writing these incredibly idiotic and stupid sentences, adds stupid phrases and words like "too" and "this/that" with the sole purpose of misleading people and getting them to give wrong answers.
Ebben a folyóban sok ember ugrál. - Many people jump in this river. So they are already inside the river and not moving towards to it.
The target is: Ebbe a folyóba is sok ember ugrik: férfiak, nők, gyerekek. I wrote: Ebbe a folyóba sok ember is ugrik: férfiak, nők, gyerekek. Why is it wrong?
-------- duo thinks that it should be "...the river, too... " and not "... the people, too... " . . .

The focus should be on "sok ember", given that the sentence goes on to list the men, women and children. The verb must follow what is the focus of the sentence.
