"Ti őt keresitek?"

Translation: Are you looking for her?

[Peter255437]

Was the "i" in "keresitek" correctly pronounced? To me, it sounded like "é".

[Jrmy27982]

Hello!
Can we translate the sentence into "Do you look for her?"

[mosi868565]

Keresed/Keresitek őt?

[mosi868565]

Az ilyen kérdéseknél mindig nehéz eldöntenem, hogyan kezdjem a mondatot: "do you" vagy "are you"...? Mi a titok?

[mosi868565]

... tovább gondolva, az "are you" kezdetű mondat inkább utal arra, hogy KI keresi (őt), akkor viszont helyesebb lenne a fenti mondat magyarul így: TI keresitek őt?

[Martin828915]

Is there any way of telling whether ő means him or her?

[bbigblue]

On its own ? No. If there is context then that could give a hint.

[Ishana92]

can this be are you looking for it as well?

[jsiehler]

No, it can't. Ő is "he" or "she" - someone animate, not a thing or an "it".

[Ishana92]

yes, but how do you translate things like I am looking for it (the cat, the pen)?

[jsiehler]

You don't need an object in the sentence at all. That is the magic of the definite conjugation: Keresem all by itself means "I am looking for it."

Sometimes azt or ezt might be suitable as the object. Az(t) in particular is handy for saying "that (one / thing) that was just mentioned."

[JeanMencze]

I am so mixed up as to what objects need an indefinite or indefinite conjugation of the verb! If the object is "them", then the definite conjugation is used, right? But if the object is "him or her", then the indefinite conjugation is right??

[bbigblue]

In this lesson the definite conjugation is used. Personal pronouns will use definite ones sionce they are... well.. definite...
"Are you looking for an apple?" - "Egy almát kerestek?"
"Are you looking for the apple" - "Az almát keresitek?"
