"a boy and a girl"

Translation: egy fiú és egy lány

[CibulskiJunior]

Can't I say "A fiú és a lány" ?

[ValriaKlik]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

[GrowingViolet]

Can "egy" be dropped for one or both nouns?

[vvsey]

I would say both or none. But without "egy" it would not mean the same as "a boy and a girl". But since this is not a sentence, there may be contexts where "fiú és lány" can be used.

[GrowingViolet]

May I ask how the meaning would change without "egy"?

[vvsey]

Maybe not the meaning, more like the usage. I think the same way that it would change in English. It is hard to think of a good example, but maybe one of those general statements would do, as we know that Hungarian likes to make those statements in the singular:

There are boys, and girls, too, in the team.

Fiúk és lányok is vannak a csapatban - plural version
