"Leugrom a hídról, leugrasz te is?"

Translation: I jump down from the bridge, do you jump down too?

[jeliason]

Shouldn't "jump off the bridge" be accepted

[deactivated user]

I think it should. If you jump off you will certainly go down.

[Jcvug]

I think these sentences are deliberately as close as possible to the Hungarian, to highlight the differences in cases, even if more loose translations convey the same meaning. "Le" specifically means down, while English "off" could potentially have other equivalents in Hungarian.

[Evolita]

"down from" is a bit too much. No English speaking folk would prefer this combination...

[Evolita]

YES, I'm so glad it's not just me who can point out the obvious Hunglish in this course!! You don't "jump down" a bridge, you "jump off" a taller structure like a bridge.

The best English translation I can think of is “I’m jumping off the bridge, are you jumping too?” But without context it sounds like some extreme sport, like bunjy jumping. Only safe for flying kindergarten teachers

Oxford students have this crazy (and quite dangerous) tradition of jumping from Magdalen bridge on May day. I'm sure it is here that we find the context for this sentence. ;) https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/uknews/7662660/May-Day-revellers-jump-off-Magdalen-Bridge-into-the-River-Cherwell-in-Oxford.html

"I jump down from the bridge are you also jumping down" not accepted

[csipke100]

Because it’s wrong in English

[Evolita]

Why would we ever want to include a suicidal thought in an English course like this???

[Judit294350]

Maybe they are bungee jumping https://www.bungy.co.nz/queenstown/kawarau-bungy-centre/kawarau-bridge-bungy/

[MisiekSzy]

I agree. I appreciate all the óvónő jokes etc., but suicide is no joke material... :/

[guntunge]

Bungee jumps?

[Anna58652]

I report " jump down", it is bad translation

[Judit294350]

"I jump down from the bridge" - why is it a bad translation?

[Evolita]

Hi Judit, if you bothered reading the above remarks you would know the answer. Too bad we can't just translate every sentence word to word.

[Judit294350]

Well, as a native English speaker (of many, many decades) I hear (and see) nothing wrong with it. Not an uncommon phrase if jumping from a bridge down to the ground.

[DonFry]

No one's going to comment on encouraging other to jump off bridges? :)

[cmdonaldso]

The bridge might be on fire

[AlexRadu21]

And don't worry, surely the kindergarten teachers will fly in to catch them

[Evolita]

Ha ha, you're really funny! Never thought of that.
