"Good afternoon, is it the first house from the river?"

Translation: Jó napot, ez az első ház a folyótól?

[_paranoia_]

Shouldn't the English sentence be "Good afternoon, is this the first house from the river?"

[vvsey]

Yes, probably.

my thoughts exactly. "it" means "az" in this case. "is this" means "ez az"
