"Az alma leesik a fáról."

Translation: The apple falls down from the tree.

[Patricia460976]

Do we need to say "down"? It's not going to fall up.

[Judit294350]

No - down is NOT needed

[Arcaeca]

And then Newton had this great idea...

[dqJacO]

I guess you are saving "az alma nem esik messze a fájától" for a future lesson.

[TivadarTor]

Newton almája!

[weitzhandler]

Why not falls off the tree?

[Patricia460976]

Perhaps there is a different Hungarian pre or postposition for "off" specifically

[Judit294350]

No - my dictionary gives "falls down" or "falls off" for leeszik
